Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Being an executive isn't easy, according to management psychologist and former HR executive Downs. Many leaders are constantly dealing with fundamentals of commitment, isolation, self-confidence, belonging and leading. Offering guidance to fellow coaches, Downs uses his own know-how and the knowledge of his peers. Fifteen chapters explore coaching techniques to help executives when they're feeling overwhelmed. The most important "trade secret," Downs says, is for an executive to be "emotionally involved and committed to his job, organization, and career." The rest of his advice stems from this tenet, and though the book is dense, those working with managers or directors will find solid guidance.
