When it comes to getting ahead today, your talent and experience matter. The problem is, someone else going for the promotion or business opportunity has a résumé that’s as good as, if not better than, yours. If you want to get ahead, you have to be different. You have to stand out from the crowd. You have to get decision makers to talk about you. No one understands what it takes to succeed in today’s business landscape better than D. A. (Debra) Benton. A globally recognized consultant, Benton has spent more than 20 years helping business professionals like you perform better and achieve more. In The CEO Difference, Benton gives you the insight and tools to make subtle changes in your presentation, attitude, and leadership style that will dramatically increase your leadership effectiveness—and, consequently, help you enjoy work and life. Learn how to differentiate yourself with tangible steps to get where you want to go: Authentically and effectively differentiate yourself in appropriate ways Inspire teams and organizations to be more productive and prosperous Understand yourself, change your mindset, and present yourself in a way that people are receptive to Create, manage, and mentor successful individuals and teams Remain intellectually curious while making meaningful contributions to your organization Competition for the top spot has never been fiercer. “Today, you have to exceed in a group of ‘exceeders,’” Benton writes. But it’s not all about improving your job performance. You are already knowledgeable, competent, and hard-working. It’s about doing typical things in atypical ways. It’s about doing things that add organizational value—without being asked. It’s about having what your competitors don’t: The CEO Difference.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why some people are able to move up the corporate ladder with ease and others languish in the pool of workers who can’t seem to get ahead? Robert T. Gofourth unlocks the mystery of corporate success in this book full of entertaining stories, confessions of his own mistakes and practical tips of what to do to succeed within the corporate environment. You can let go of any misconception of succeeding through hard work and dedication. Being recognized for your accomplishments and effortlessly rising to the top of the competitive corporate environment simply will not happen. Reading this book is like opening up the box where stories of success are hidden. It is not a motivational book with lots of encouragement and positive thinking. This book is a pragmatic collection of actual stories based on the author’s experience. In most cases the name of the person in the story has been changed. What’s important for you to grasp is these stories represent real life in the corporate world. You will probably recognize yourself, or people you know, in some of the stories. At the end of each section is a set of “Do’s and Don’ts” you can use as a checklist in your corporate rise through the ranks. Near the end of the book, Gofourth summarizes his management philosophy with three super simple tools he finds super effective in managing his team. He is convinced if you follow the three simple philosophies it will absolutely help you move to the next level quicker.

On the off chance that the organization has a governing body, the CEO reports to them, utilizing her earnest attempts to meet the objectives of the board. The board may set the long haul bearing of the organization, yet gives the CEO a chance to make logic of how to get there.

Today, the way to turning into a CEO can look altogether different, especially inside of tech and web new businesses. Be that as it may, the aptitudes required to be a viable pioneer are the same as ever. These abilities normally take an existence of experience to get, yet there are approaches to beat that time challenge. The way to accomplishment for another pioneer today relies on his/her capacity to lead change. Genuine accomplishment in the quick paced worldwide economy requires that individuals over the association meet change with liveliness and tackle vital activities with direness so that they happen to be speedier and more successful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on in-depth interviews with hundreds of the nation's top executives, D. A. Benton explains the 22 vital traits that make a CEO - the leader responsible for making decisions, guiding teams, selling ideas, managing crises, and conquering the mountains before them. You'll penetrate the mystery of why some people make it to the top and some don't, when they're all equally good at their jobs. You'll learn how to avoid getting fired and how to get promoted more quickly, how to enjoy the quality of life you want and deserve, and - if you decide you want to be the Big Boss - how to have the right character traits to get there. These are some of the traits that make a CEO. Are you ready to make them yours? You're gutsy and a little wild - yet modest and in control. You're competitive and tenacious - yet flexible and generous. You're willing to admit mistakes - yet unapologetic. You're secure in yourself - yet constantly improving. You're original and straightforward - yet think before you talk. Make your ascent not only gratifying, but also exhilarating and fun. This is how chiefs run the show - and how you can act like a chief to become a chief, even sooner than you dreamed.
