Developing Executive Capacity

It’s in good condition and doesn’t have any scratches, scribbles, or highlights. The fastest way to increase your own success as an executive is to profit by what other successful executives are doing! And executives in all fields of Industry and Business are doing plenty. Able men are working out exciting ways to multiply personal wealth and boost company profits. The methods they are using are worth fortunes to the ambitious man in Management today—no matter what his position may be. Edwin Laird Cady's newest book, DEVELOPING EXECUTIVE CAPACITY-which "more than 10,000 executives helped to write" shows you quite literally, and in logical easy-to-follow steps, how to see, how to think, how to be, a better executive. Here is the vast panorama of an expert consultant's experiences. Executives walking through their factories have pointed out the sources of their successes and failures. Labor leaders, politicians, heads of hospitals and laboratories, bankers, advertising agency presidents have told the author how they’ve climbed the ladder of influence and described the methods they've used. In addition, the book gives a detailed treatment of the four basic elements of executive growth: EVALUATING YOUR PRESENT POSITION: To be able to grow, one must understand clearly his assets, temperament, and inclinations. How to appraise all of your potentials, uncover handicaps and combat them so that executive growth becomes an automatic process. UNDERSTANDING THE EXECUTIVE POSITION: The devices and processes by which the executive sees the job ahead of him and prepares for it intelligently. How to size up situations and comprehend the hidden and far-reaching elements of them. LEARNING TO THINK LIKE AN EXECUTIVE: How to master Association and Imagination, the arts of clearer Communication and allied requirements to strengthen the executive's position. LEARNING TO HARNESS MENTAL FORCES: The best executives have sources of power that are rarely put to use by other men. The author enumerates many of them, including The Wave Rhythm Theorem of Timing, and The Cannibalism Theorem of Management. He also discusses how to use quarrels as forces and the pros and cons of Departmentalization. To make the book more valuable, Edwin Laird Cady has added subheads to the wide margins of each page to help the reader summarize and locate the parts he wants quickly and easily. In addition, there are comprehensive Self-Development Exercises throughout the book to stretch the reader's imagination and make him assimilate and apply what he learns, thus speeding up his executive growth.
