Stop Climbing the Ladder. Start Engineering Your Ascent.
In the cut-throat world of executive leadership, "hard work" is no longer enough. The corporate ladder is a slow, crowded path where the rules are written by the people already at the top. If you want to reach the C-suite, you cannot wait for permission. You must create your own momentum.
The Accelerated Ascent - CEO Blueprint to the Top Ranks is the definitive playbook for the modern leader. Written by a veteran CEO with a "PhD in the real world," this book takes you inside the boardroom to reveal the hidden currents that determine who rises and who stays behind.
Drawing from his extraordinary transition from a Shipmaster on massive oil tankers to a CEO and Professor in sectors ranging from logistics to healthcare, the author shares the "Shipmaster's Protocol"-a high-stakes crisis management system where the cost of a mistake isn't just a bad report, but total catastrophic failure.
Inside this Strategic Playbook, you will discover:
- The Leverage Principle: How to identify "Level 3 Mandates" that make your value irrefutable to the Board.
- The Documentation Doctrine: How to build a "CEO Diary" that neutralizes "he said/she said" political attacks and sabotage.
- The 90/10 Delegation Rule: How to stop being a "Super-Manager" and start being a Talent Architect, scaling your brain through an Elite Bench.
- Strategic Neutrality: How to stand above the fray of internal "cliques" and become the only trusted referee in the room.
- The Character Dividend: Why your IQ gets you the job, but your character-your "Character Dividend"-is what keeps you in the seat.
This is more than a leadership book; it is a Non-Linear Career Engine. Whether you are navigating systemic bias, fighting for credit in a "stolen glory" environment, or preparing for your first Board presentation, The Accelerated Ascent provides the street-smart tactics you need to move from Executive to Icon.
The time for incremental growth is over. The Board is waiting. Are you ready for your Accelerated Ascent?
