Speaking Up; Surviving Executive Presentations by Frederick Gilbert

Speaking Up; Surviving Executive Presentations by Frederick Gilbert

If you are in middle management, to get anything done you must present your ideas to decision makers, and those presentations can be brutal. The stakes are high--one presentation can make or break a career--but the rules are utterly unclear. Tactics and techniques that work well with peers, subordinates, and immediate supervisors can actually work against you when presenting up the chain.

Speaking Up is an indispensable resource for anyone who needs to know how to present to those at the highest levels. Psychologist and coach Frederick Gilbert offers revelatory insights into the minds of the men and women at the top--information that is crucial to understanding what they're looking for from presenters. Based on ten years of research and hundreds of interviews, Speaking Up features extensive comments from executives explaining exactly what they want and don't want in a presentation and includes nine chapters containing QR codes for free videos on the chapter topics. This is a must-read book for surviving high-stakes meetings.

Gilbert, Frederick: - Frederick Rick Gilbert is founder and chairman of PowerSpeaking, Inc. He has personally coached more than 200 senior-level leaders. Before opening his firm, he held management positions with Hewlett-Packard and Amdahl Corporation in Silicon Valley.
