Corporations 101: A Guide for Beginners

by David Egan

Overview

"Go to school; get a job."

We've all heard it-it's the American way. And that's exactly what I did.

Then something strange occurred...

Once inside a corporation, I realized the technical foundation my degree provided was only part of the equation. Why? Because within the corporate walls, there's a set of unspoken rules. If broken, the effects can be devastating. This is precisely where academia gets it all wrong. By only teaching skills that make corporations more successful rather than ones that make you more successful within them, you are left woefully underprepared for life inside these institutions. This leaves of thousands of graduates each year with a degree that taught them absolutely nothing about what it takes to succeed within one. My goal is to fill that hole.

THIS GUIDE IS BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE MAIN SECTIONS:

1st: An orientation into the human capital structure that exists within corporations.

2nd: Specific psychological techniques that will help you climb the ladder both faster and higher than your competition.

3rd: Ten common pitfalls that must be avoided to ensure success.

After twelve years in the corporate world, I've spent thousands of hours observing and taking notes on my colleagues-and myself-as we struggled to make it to the top. Some of us did, some didn't. But by sharing my experiences, I hope this book to be helpful for anyone entering a corporate setting for the first time.

About the Author

Hi – I’m David, a born psychologist who missed his calling and is now stuck fighting his way through the corporate blender of political bullshit and never-ending cost reductions. After graduating from Texas Tech University with both undergraduate and graduate degrees in finance, I went to work for one of the largest companies in the world. An incredible chain of events then occurred which led me to my true passions in life—psychology and writing. The result was this book—the book I wish I had prior to entering the corporate world for the first time.
During my free time I like to play golf and spend time on my new couch. I also enjoy writing on my blog which you can find at www.Corporations101.com.
