Some useful tips outlined in the book include:
-
To make yourself more visible to the search community, first make yourself more visible to the business community. Do this by becoming active in organizations, getting your name in print and networking vigorously. You can also begin to establish relationships with a search consultant by contacting a few who work in your industry or discipline.
-
When you are contacted by a search firm as a potential candidate or “source”, by the first or second call the search consultant will determine whether you will be advancing in the recruitment process. Toward that end, the consultant will ask questions about your level of responsibility, experience, compensation and interest. You should also ask questions about the hiring organization, position, reporting lines, responsibilities and compensation.
-
Recognize that when it comes to executive compensation you get what you negotiate. Most companies have at least some, and often considerable, leeway in the compensation they can offer to senior executives.
-
Manage your career with the understanding that no one will manage it for you. Few companies provide the lifetime employment or financial security as they once did.
In addition to explicit advice like this, the book contains expert tips on networking, presentation, interviewing, and negotiation that will prove valuable in every aspect of your professional life.
Here is what some search consultants have to say about the importance of owning this book:

--- Bob Shields, Director of the Chicago office of Spencer Stuart

--- Jean-Philippe Caude, Managing Partner at Leaders Trust International
