Böcker av Douglas Board

Can you rise to the top without losing your soul? Headhunter and former NGO chair Douglas Board questions established assumptions about what's need to get into the highest coterie of business or politics

A biting satirical novel that imagines the post-Brexit, political landscape of the UK in 2020. Funny, thought-provoking and worryingly believable.

Examining the classic mix of competency frameworks and selection tools such as psychological and skills assessments, simulations, reference-checking and interviews, the author concludes that senior selection choices are holding back organisations and individual careers, with implications for diversity, effectiveness, and social justice.
