This is another in the 'in Ninety Minutes' series which offers the reader a comprehensive but easily readable and digestible text covering a specific topic in an hour and a half of study. There are very few books on the topic of how to secure fast promotions. This book enables readers to enhance their career prospects by taking them directly through the reality of climbing the ladder fast. It is full of real-world strategies that have been tried and tested and proven to work, together with true examples. The centre piece of the book explains the most successful promotion strategy of all which is to be taken under the wing of a much more senior employee in the firm and be pulled up through the ranks. Other promotion tactics are explored at three different levels - politically correct tactics, more aggressive tactics and dirty tactics.
Also well covered with examples and tactics are: checking the right jobs and possible promotion paths; ensuring the ability to deliver the goods if promoted; company culture and the impression you can make; annual reviews and how to handle the boss; the nine areas of office survival and how to be versatile; how to be the boss for the first time; the career-blowing mistakes to avoid.
