Do you have ambitions of becoming an executive at a multi-billion dollar organization? Executives in top corporate positions are often required to maintain standards of the very highest levels. April Armstrong, a leadership advisor, draws from her years of experience as a business executive to present an all-in-one handbook to help career-driven professionals reach the highest levels of leadership that maximize their potential. What are the driving forces behind a business? How can you support the driving forces of those around you to attain optimal results? The answers to these questions can be found in The Day One Executive. With this book, you will learn to realize your value, nurture relationships, become more efficient, be strategic to maximize your advantage, treat decision-making as a formal business process, choose the best decision-making approach, and grow your network.

In this highly competitive era, books like The Day One Executive are a must-read to acquire the tools and knowledge to help you distinguish yourself and make an impression in the corporate world. April Armstrong provides readers with some valuable insights and advice about nurturing self-awareness, building emotional intelligence, being a change agent, developing your inner executive, and much more. Walk through the pages while making complex decisions, move beyond blind spots and bias, sidestep groupthink, and always back your instincts. Armstrong's easy-going narrative approach using examples and anecdotes of top-level executives makes the subject matter engaging and provides clues to their real-life applications. This is a book I will recommend to any career-driven professional trying to make their mark in an organization.
