What does it take to reach the top of the corporate ladder?

Career-minded women have been asking this question for years. They may be surprised to learn that the answers don’t involve playing the "man’s game," networking or ruthlessly going after what they want – but they do involve taking risks, helping others and just plain being yourself.

At least, that’s what the women at the top of the corporate ladder say in GOING TO THE TOP: A Road Map for Success from America’s Leading Women

This book by EWA's Carol Gallagher distills the real-life success stories and personal insights of 200 women at the top of America’s Fortune 1000 companies into practical advice and inspiration for women who want to succeed in today’s competitive corporate world. Among its features:

  • Six "lessons for success" that shatter myths normally associated with advancement
  • 15 strategies to help women improve their careers
  • C.O.R.E. characteristics that influence a woman’s career: competence, outcomes, relationships and endurance
  • Questions for personal reflection to help women more clearly define their personal and professional goals and to feel better about the choices they make
  • Interactive exercises to help women create a career road map
  • Specific strategies for minority women

Based on in-depth interviews with female executives from companies as diverse as Intel, The Wall Street Journal, Fannie Mae, AOL, Pepsi-Cola, AirTouch and Frederick’s of Hollywood – and the author’s experience at Goldman Sachs, IBM and American Management Systems -- Going to the Top also highlights dozens of "success tips" for women to stay on track.

Remember, We Achieve What We Focus On: Reframe your thoughts and reposition your energies toward identifying and creating pathways to the top, rather than focusing on obstacles.”
