The C-Suite, Boardroom, and Beyond

Abstract

If you follow most of the practices described in the previous 14 chapters, there is a pretty good chance you will end up in the C-suite, boardroom, and beyond. After all, good innovation leadership talent is hard to find. Your road to the C-suite probably included a director job, leading a broad technology swath with managers reporting to you, and a 7–9-figure annual budget. In larger companies, there might be a divisional VP role before you reach the key company officer jobs such as VP of R&D or chief technology officer (CTO).
