How to get Fired at the C-Level

This book proports to ‘show ways to significantly reduce change failures and to dramatically raise the capability, speed and success-rates of delivering strategic change in an organisation’. It is aimed at helping an individual become the person who essentially shows the C-level the light. This is a tall ask of any book and one I think this book unfortunately fails to achieve. There are nuggets of wisdom within the book but they are buried beneath too much ‘stuff’ for want of a better word. The book would have benefited from more strident editing to ensure it conveyed its key messages in a more focused way that made them more easily accessible to the reader.
