Being in the corporate world is like a staircase. Once you reach the top, there is no other way, but to go down. But if you have the right skills and characteristics, you can definitely stay on top.

As we all know, everybody can be a leader. The question here is longevity and the kind of legacy that your leadership leaves behind. We have highlighted below the 10 ways to survive in the C-Level Suite:

• Use various leadership styles depending on the kind of situation you are currently in – This is “no brainer”.  You can’t use a directive style when you have a very skilled team because this would demotivate them. At the same time, you can’t use a participative style when there is a crisis because you have to make quick decisions.

You received an email from an executive recruiter and the job description was so hard to resist. You were scheduled for an interview within the week. You’re excited, yet very nervous. It’s been a while since you had your last interview. How will you ace your executive-level interview?

Most of the time, we get an advice like you have to rehearse and come up with possible questions and your answer before the interview. You have to look nice. You have to maintain eye contact, so on and so forth. Don’t get me wrong. These are all correct. But it takes more than that to pass this kind of interview.

Here are the 3 stages of the interview process that you have to prepare for and how you can ace it!

When there is an executive search, the organization usually provides a job description with a list of skills, educational background and experience required for the job. Although this is relevant, recruiters tend to stick to the JDs because of the fact that most companies request the search firms to adhere to their specifications.

There is nothing here except for one thing: this could easily weed out potential candidates.

Before we get any further, what do we mean by potential candidates?

Let’s say you’ve been working in an Executive Level position in your present company for 15 years now. You’ve handled your responsibilities really well and you’ve established a reputable profile within the organization. You have a healthy working relationship with your superiors, peers and subordinates, and you were able to inspire change. You also managed to overcome major challenges along the way. Things happen the way you want them to, which is good because, you either met or exceeded what was required.

But we have to admit that despite all the great events that are happening, there’s a part of you that will look for something new; a new environment, new colleagues, new challenges. And then finally you’ve decided, “Time to get a new job.”
