Sooner or later that plum position is going to become vacant at your workplace. You know you’ll want it, but can you get it? Ask yourself: What’s my track record? Am I smart enough in the right areas? Do people like working with me? Do they respect me? Would they follow me if I were in charge?

Am I CEO material?

Any aspiring ladder-climber should be able to answer these questions—because, without a doubt, the competition thinks it can.

In CEO Material, D. A. Benton shows you how to become highly visible and absolutely indispensable to your organization. You’ll learn how to project confidence, even when something hasn’t gone your way. You’ll recognize the value of being a generalist, able to comprehend every facet of your business’s structure and function. You’ll find out how to keep learning and growing so that you never feel stuck, much less appear so to decision makers.

And most importantly, you’ll master four C’s that no true leader can be without:

Confidence
Constant Communication
Craftsmanship
Coworker Collaboration

Inside, you’ll find a lifetime of top-level professional development advice that can make the difference. “CEO Whisperer” D. A. Benton is your guide to doing what must be done in order to make significant moves up the ladder. It’s not just about showing up;it’s about having integrity, taking charge, accepting challenges, and making an ally out of everyone you work with.

Conduct yourself like a CEO and you’ll be first in line for each new promotion in your field. Transform yourself from an average employee to an indispensable corporate player with the help of CEO Material.

One of the greatest lessons is that each of us must take charge of life or life will take charge of us. Debra Benton once again delivers the primer on the knowledge and practical steps one must take to be in charge of one's own career and its success. CEO Material not only is for CEOs and those in the making, but for everyone who wants professional and personal success. And, at heart, every person wants to be his or her level best. Benton has written another indispensable book for grasping how to move ahead, differentiate yourself, and happily lead.

Debra Benton has taken the complex issue of how to become an organizational leader and boiled it down to sixteen key behaviors that separate the leaders in an organization from the masses. For each behavior she ensures the reader has a good understanding of what their actions should include by outlining a "What Does It Look Like?" section. The entire book is also peppered with quotes from the senior most organizational leaders that allow the reader to gain learnings from the top. This book is easy to read, understand, and apply - highly recommended for anyone looking for advice on continuing to build their leadership skills!

"CEO Material: How to Be a Leader in Any Organization" provides a wealth of valuable insights that will help any person in any business role improve their professional reputation and leadership skills.

"CEO Material" is well organized and each chapter includes helpful hints, key messages and lots of CEO quotes from many industries and points of view. Debra delivers insightful and down-to-earth advice that has helped me better understand how people really consider, evaluate and rate the potential of their business associates.

Debra's writing style is direct, personal, and easy to read. Once I started the first chapter I just couldn't put the book down! I've marked SO MANY pages for future reference that I know this will be a book I keep on my desktop to ensure I focus on what is really important in my day-to-day business activities.

I strongly recommend this book for both new and seasoned professionals. This is a must-have book for business people seeking to improve their leadership effectiveness and for pro-actively driving their career toward CEO. Thanks Debra for creating and sharing this practical leadership guide.
