Upstairs, or survival instructions for a top manager. Shcherbakov B.

The book of Boris Shcherbakov, a well-known top manager in the field of information technology, is both memoirs and thoughts. The author recalls the period when he worked for the world's largest corporations - Oracle, Dell, and with unusual frankness talks about conflicts, and, in a broader sense, about the backstage side of the life of these companies - but not to “take away scores”. His plan is much deeper: Shcherbakov makes up the real “survival instructions”, extracting the grain of wisdom from the litter of everyday troubles, which comes with experience.

The author’s conclusions are diverse. He speaks of both the need to manage an anger, and the formation of the company's personnel reserve, about leadership and the study of foreign languages, about the fight against windmills and the process of dismissal from the company, and about the judgment... In this diversity, even an experienced leader will find that- that is useful for itself.

The book is written in a slight, almost spoken language, decorated with many memorable quotes from a corporate vocabulary and therefore will become an indispensable manual for all career players - the author himself was striving for this.

for All who are interested in the history and practitioners of Russian business, for students of economic and IT specialties, for owners and business employees in IT sector, for those who want to build a career as a leader.
