Book Description


Your Next Role is for the mass market of middle management in corporations, and any other level of executive, who feels stuck on their particular rung of the promotional ladder – and who need to find some answers and a fresh edge to get ahead. It's for people who want to keep climbing the corporate ladder, but find that while they may have successfully navigated their way to their existing management position, they are now floundering as to how to work out the people and politics necessary to keep their career on an upward trajectory.
