David D'Alessandro

 David D'Alessandro is Chairman and CEO of John Hancock Financial Services, David D'Alessandro describes from personal experience, the real no holds barred competitive world of reaching the top rungs of the corporate ladder, and how to survive the ascent.

David D'Alessandro recognizes that at the upper echelons of corporate life, being good at producing results is not enough to rise higher on the ladder. Instead, talent and productivity are expected, and other less obvious skills come into play. The author points out that at some point in an executive's career, the rules of the game make a sudden change. A new set of unwritten rules govern the executive's rise or stagnation, and David D'Alessandro teaches his readers those new challenges.
