NICE GUYS CAN GET THE CORNER OFFICE
Eight Strategies for Winning in Business Without Being a JERK
by Russ Edelman, Tim Hiltabiddle, and Charles C. Manz
Portfolio
July, 2008
With a recession upon us, a presidential campaign in full swing and an ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan collectively darkening the national mood, the time is more than ripe for the rise of the nice guy.
NICE GUYS CAN GET THE CORNER OFFICE is a contrarian look at why being a nice guy in business and life has more advantages than suggested by the conventional, and very dated, business wisdom which has long held that "nice guys never get ahead."
"Nonsense," say authors Russ Edelman, Charles Manz and Tim Hiltabiddle who interviewed more than 20 top executives, including John Bogle of Vanguard, Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines, and Jeff Taylor of Monster.com, as well as dozens of average nice guys to prove that "nice" doesn't mean "weak." In fact, it may be the most underrated (and overlooked) attribute in business today.
Chock full of compelling stories, the book offers real evidence that nice guys can transform -- remaining nice while learning to become more assertive, decisive, and handling confrontation. This is a book for both the manager hoping to get more from his nice guys on staff and for nice guys themselves who long to shed the negative image that has been foisted upon them, stay true to their real and authentic nice selves, while also getting ahead in business.
This book has the potential to recast the image of "nice guys" and start a national discussion of how real, live, nice people can thrive and grow in a world that is increasingly high tech, low touch, and very impersonal.
