One of the two books used in pre-paring these senior executives is The Next Level, which vividly highlights the need to think and act differently...What made you successful at lower levels of the food chain can actually cripple you.

It's practical guidance on what you need to say ‘No' to, so you can move beyond the plateau, get to the next level and truly say ‘Yes' to your own great work as a leader." -Michael Bungay Stanier, author of Do More Great Work and Senior Partner at Box of Crayons
