Details: Schell combines her research with findings from other studies to map the strategies, personality predispositions, and mood-coping capabilities for making it to the top of the corporate ladder―and for staying there. Nearly 400 of todays corporate leaders reveal their secrets for success and the stress and personality and mood disorders that go along with it. The result is an authoritative insight into the people who made it in todays corporate world, and a bold reconfirmation that life at the top is not always worth coveting.

Schells book is written for present-day corporate leaders and for those seeking to become leaders and is designed to help understand the special traits one needs to become successful. Schell reports in detail on corporate leaders stress-coping strategies, influence strategies, personality dispositions, the ways they cope with their mood swings, and how they see themselves performing their own compensation negotiations. Managers and management aspirants, specialists in organizational psychology, and human resource executives will find Schells book both enlightening and cautionary.
