Download or read book A Seat at the C Suite Table written by Charles Wallington and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Their Own Compelling Words A Seat at the C-Suite Table is an insightful look at the leadership journeys of 30 African American male C-Suite executives. In their own compelling words, executives describe earning and maintaining a seat at the C-Suite table. They speak candidly about how the lack of mentors, coaches, and role models impacted – but did not stop them. They talk openly about navigating corporate settings designed years ago by White men. They speak freely about their commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders. This book was inspired by data suggesting that there is racial/ethnic underrepresentation in corporate leadership roles in the United States. This underrepresentation ranges from the presidency of colleges and universities to the U.S. Senate to corporate boardrooms. This book provides advice, hope, and inspiration for others. It also includes a road map for all leaders who desire to become better mentors, coaches, sponsors, and allies for current and future underrepresented leaders.

Book excerpt: Agile, Lean, and DevOps approaches are radical game changers, providing a fundamentally different way to think about how IT fits into the enterprise, how IT leaders lead, and how IT can harness technology to accomplish the objectives of the enterprise. But honest and open conversations are not taking place between management and Agile delivery teams. In A Seat at the Table, CIO Mark Schwartz explores the role of IT leadership as it is now and opens the door to reveal IT leadership as it should be—an integral part of the value creation engine. With an easy style, Schwartz reveals that the only way to become an Agile IT leader is to be courageous—to throw off the attitude and assumptions that have kept CIOs from taking their rightful seat at the table. CIOs, step on up, your seat at the table is waiting for you.

Download or read book HR s Seat at the Table written by Jack Hays Cage and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coveting a "seat at the table," many human resources professionals face a gap between the talent management requirements of their business partners and what gets executed day-to-day in organizations. Written by the executive search and management consultants of Cage Talent (www.CageTalent.com), this book strives to close that gap, in highly engaging prose--including real-life examples, stories from the authors' professional experience, and their interviews with executives in corporate and nonprofit sectors. Part 1 defines "strategy," discussing the work of esteemed management experts as well as guiding readers step-by-step through actual strategy documents to discover how to apply these to daily HR tasks. Also offered are straightforward recommendations for addressing stereotypes of HR staff as "administriviators"--to build a solid foundation on which to lead business conversations. The authors then share a novel approach to conversing with business colleagues--including the CEO--to uncover the strategic data necessary to dramatically enhance hiring. Part 2 explicitly describes how to fold information gleaned from these business conversations into delivering the talent that executes an organization's strategy. Readers will learn how to craft compelling position descriptions (and why they are so vital), use online assessment instruments to carefully vet candidates (especially to identify potential derailers before a hire), and conduct focused, deep-dive interviews and reference checks--all to assure hiring the best-qualified people who also truly fit an organization's culture. The book includes Additional Resources, References, an index, figures, and tables, and the electronic versions of this title are in color. The publisher offers large-quantity discounts and donates 25% of this title's sales to UNICEF.

Download or read book Money on the Table written by Melissa Greenwell and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If our executive suites and boardrooms aren’t gender-balanced, we’re throwing money away! The shortage of women in boardrooms and executive suites means companies are missing out on the best solutions, products, and services—and on having the type of workplace that will attract the best workers. Gender imbalance is a serious problem in companies, and the cost is significant—but it is a problem we can solve. Melissa Greenwell challenges leaders in a no-blame, logical approach to bring more female talent into leadership positions for one simple reason: Their companies will make more money if they do. Leaders of gender-balanced companies profit from differences in the female brain responsible for questioning, debate, idea-generation, and problem solving, and those companies see increased performance and healthier strategies and tactics. Greenwell deftly demystifies gender imbalance, making it a topic we can discuss without fearing perceptions of favoritism or sexism. Money on the Table is destined to become the go-to book for CEOs and their leadership teams, boards of directors, and top HR leaders, with a clear place in talent acquisition and engagement strategies as well. Greenwell supports her thesis with business cases, interviews with top business leaders, and the brain science that explains why women and men think, communicate, and problem-solve differently. Key insights, explanations, vocabulary, and action plans complete the book along with a compelling list of ten rules that women should abide by to fulfill their part of “getting a seat at the table.”
Download or read book War and Peace and IT written by Mark Schwartz and published by IT Revolution. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business-IT Wall Must Come Down With A Seat at the Table, thought leader Mark Schwartz pulled out a chair for CIOs at the C-suite table. Now Mark brings his unique perspective and experience to business leaders looking to lead their company into the digital age by harnessing the expertise and innovation that is already under their roof: IT. In the war for business supremacy, Schwartz shows we must throw out the old management models and stereotypes that pit suits against nerds. Instead, business leaders of today can foster a space of collaboration and shared mission, a space that puts technologists and business people on the same team. For business leaders looking to unlock their enterprise's digital transformation, War and Peace and IT provides clear context and strategies. Schwartz demystifies the role IT plays in the modern enterprise, allowing business leaders to create new strategies for the new digital battleground. It is time to change not only the enterprise's relationship with technology, but its relationship with technologists. To accelerate, enterprises must bring technology to the heart of their work, for just as technology is causing this disruption, it is technology that provides the solution. Unlike Napoleon, it is time for business leaders to come down from the hill atop the Battle of Borodino and enter the fray with the technologists, for that is where the war will be won or lost.
Download or read book The Changing C Suite written by José Luis Alvarez and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is about changing corporate power structures. We examine the evolving ways in which power at the apex of complex organizations is structured through roles and relationships in anticipation of and in response to diverse contingencies and interests. Our focus is the changing C-suite, a term denoting the most important senior executives in an organization, characterized by the proliferation of and variation in new Chief X Officer (CXO) roles, where 'X' stands for a specific domain, such as sustainability, communication, digital, human resources, finance, etc. By exploring the emergence and evolution of these CXO roles, we seek to understand these elites' new command posts, sources of expertise and identity, competition and collaboration, and ways of getting things done-what we call their 'style'-thereby extending the political perspective of organizations, which has largely overlooked the changing structure and dynamics underlying executive power and actions. It is in moments of structural transformation, such as the ongoing incorporation of a plethora of new CXO roles on executive committees, that the political model of organizations is better revealed and assessed. The book develops a theoretical account, combined with a rich empirical illustration, of the C-suite's transformation over the last two decades: its magnitude and meaning, its co-construction by different interests, and its potential significance for corporate control. As C-suite incumbents have more leeway to construct their roles than managers at any other organizational layer, special attention is placed on their social and political action styles"--
