In Crack the C-Suite Code, Frangos reveals the hidden dynamics for reaching 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
