| Summary |
"In Going to the Top, leadership development expert Carol Gallagher reveals the lessons learned from her research with more than 200 women who have made it within two steps of CEO at America's Fortune 1000 companies. These women know what works - and what doesn't." "Drawing on her interviews with executives of companies such as America Online, Chase, Pepsi-Cola, and Intel, as well as her own experiences at Goldman Sachs, IBM, and American Management Systems, Gallagher shatters the myths and offers business advice for women who want to attain - and maintain - success at every step of the corporate ladder."--Jacket. |
