About this title

From the Author:

Top Dog story to continue . . .
For those interested in the continuation of the Top Dog fictional story that starred embattled CEO Arlen Royster, I am hard at work now on a fiction-only sequel, tentatively titled "Accommodations" . . . a story that picks up four years later as hotel conglomerate Royal Accommodations faces a new -- and very different sort of crisis -- involving some former characters, some new ones, some unexpected action to open the story, and a plot filled with multiple business perspectives, all revolving around an examination of the many ways organizational change impacts -- on all levels, from emotional to structural --the complex, critically important employer-employee relationship. Hoping to complete manuscript by mid-1998, then place it with a publisher and get it to market ASAP . . . stay tuned for a story that's been too long in coming.

Synopsis:

Part novel, part business how-to, this text emphasizes the message that communication and leadership skills can make or break executive careers. Results are provided from 10 years of research, and a four-step model for effective CEO communication is outlined.
