The paper focuses on some of the more hidden and obscure aspects of workplace interactions which profoundly affect an executive's chances of success. The importance of (i) an executive's position within the organization's hierarchy, (ii) the embedded power structure, (iii) its political infrastructure, and (iv) the psychological characteristics of the key players in determining their relative success or failure is highlighted. Eight 'Reasons to be Careful'-each of which can help facilitate executive success and guard against failure and career disappointment-are explored.
Success in being appointed to a position of executive authority is just the start of a journey, which is likely to involve excitement, trauma, delights, tension, disappointments, and drama. The lure of achieving status as an executive confers influence, infers that the person involved 'has arrived' and that they are a success, and creates an expectation too that such an achievement will guarantee continuing success.
