Thoughts from my man Chuck

Although President G.W. Bush denied it for some time, many economists certainly feel as if the economy has finally reached a serious state of recession. Unemployment is at an all-time high and everything else is going with it. But this has a special mark on the average American struggle to climb the "corporate ladder."

Large corporations are downsizing, merging, acquiring, converging and a whole bunch of other -ing words that aren't good for the average American worker. A task that was already nearly insurmountable, succeeding in today's corporations has been increasingly more difficult. There are too many questions looming over the heads of young professionals.

Where do I go to succeed?
Who will help me?
What will be expected of me?
How will my performance be judged?
Insert your question here.

This doesn't have to be an endless list of questions.

Blitz the Ladder – A Team Based Approach to Getting Ahead in Business is the back pocket Bible for those that have hit that glass ceiling or those who just want a no holds barred look at the corporate structure. Blitz goes into great detail and examines the results from some of America's top business resources and brings home an approach for the average man. It gives a unique, common sensical formula for success.

Blitz guides the reader through the quagmire that is the corporate structure from finding your definition of success to the management mindset to overcoming career obstacles. To often, "self help" books claim to give readers insight on achieving their wildest dreams of corporate and financial success. Those books paint the corporate structure as a place where hard work always pays dividends and dreams come true with a little determination. The real corporate structure is overlooked and summarily ignored. These books offer vague strategies that apply to everyone and no one simultaneously.

It's difficult to succeed when the advice you are given comes from someone who has no idea where you are or where you want to go. This is where Blitz the Ladder breaks from the mainstream. Blitz gives readers a candid and stark look at the real workings of corporate structure from individuals who have actually navigated it. The only advice that will help you is from those who have been in your current state. Those who have hit that glass ceiling. Those who have initiated the group-based Blitz  approach and shattered that ceiling. This book gives the determined businessperson a method for success and the keys to manage their own perception.

Blitz the Ladder is not for those who have no idea what they want from their career. Blitz is a real-life handbook for those with the desire to break from the norm and write his or her own ticket.
