    About this ebook

    A 2018 DIGITAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST BUSINESS BOOK

    Covered in     Forbes, Fast Company, and Harvard Business Review, Crack the C-Suite Code is “a true insider’s guide,” according to Harvard Business School professor Boris Groysberg.

    How can I reach the C-suite? That is the most common question Cassandra Frangos hears from the executives she coaches. Many aspire to reach the C-suite, but the typical paths to the top are hard to find and difficult to follow.

    In Crack the C-Suite Code, Frangos reveals the hidden dynamics for reaching the C-suite. She offers expert guidance based on her experience as a consultant at Spencer Stuart and former head of global executive talent at Cisco, a company with 70,000 employees. Her deep research on the topic includes candid interviews with CEOs, hundreds of aspiring C-suite candidates, and the leading experts in the field.

    Frangos identifies four core paths you can follow to reach the C-suite: The Tenured Executive, The Free Agent, The Leapfrog Leader, and The Founder. To actively improve your chances for success, she presents:
    • Insider knowledge from current CEOs and well-known executives
    • Guiding questions that clarify the risks and rewards associated with each path
    • Accelerators and derailers that either enhance or detract from your chances to succeed
    • Advice on how to leverage your experience, leadership brand, and mindset to help you land on the C-suite short list
    • Insight on how the evolving role of the CEO affects your strategy to reach the top

    A career playbook for anyone who aspires to the top spot, Crack the C-Suite Code features advice from successful C-level leaders, including Accompany’s Amy Chang, Goldman Sachs’ Edith Cooper, Nest’s Yoky Matsuoka, Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, and Corning’s Wendell Weeks. These and other top leaders from a broad range of companies, including Microsoft, Google, and General Electric, tell the stories of their success and help aspiring executives crack the C-suite code.

    “If you’ve ever wanted to really figure out how to ascend to the C-suite, this is your Rosetta Stone.” —James M. Citrin, Leader, Spencer Stuart CEO Practice, and author, You’re In Charge, Now What?

    “Frangos has created a roadmap for executives on the fast track.” —Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author, Forget a Mentor, Find a Sponsor and Executive Presence
