Career warfare: 10 rules for building a successful personal brand and fighting to keep it

D'Alessandro, David F.

Career warfare: 10 rules for building a successful personal brand and fighting to keep it - New York McGraw-Hill 2004 - 216

D'Alessandro, a keen observer of the unwritten rules of organizational life, shows how personal brands are built out of people's day-to-day behavior in even the most insignificant moments. He also demonstrates what a battle it is to build a good one. It is a battle even to be noticed early in your career; it is a battle not to become dangerously arrogant later on. You constantly have to defend your brand from the sniping of your enemies, the indifference of your bosses, and your own worst impulses." "Using vivid stories from his own rise through the organizational ranks, D'Alessandro offers shrewd advice for disarming the people who hold your career in their hands and introduces a remarkable cast of characters along the way. You'll meet the corporate chairman who gave himself a speech impediment, the account executive who sang opera for a president, and the job candidate who washed her face with a pancake. You will also meet some of the smartest managers of their own public images on the planet and learn from the things they have done right."
