If you are working in engineering, research, or innovation, this book is for you. Author Cliff Spiro will guide you through your career stages from start to finish, including interviewing from both sides of the table, getting promoted first to leading others, next to leading leaders, and ultimately to the highest positions in the organization. Cliff will teach you when to leave, and how to leave a job. Cliff will help you influence suppliers, customers, employees, colleagues, and the brass in your organization. This book is especially valuable for people just starting their technology careers, for people whose careers are stalled or moving along too slowly, for people contemplating a move, and for people raised in foreign cultures who are less familiar with corporate politics, relationships, or how to get noticed.
