At the Top, or A Survival Guide for Senior Managers

The book by Boris Shcherbakov, a renowned senior manager in the field of information technology, is both memoir and reflection. The author recalls the period when he worked for the largest global corporations — Oracle, Dell — and speaks with... unusual candor about conflicts and, more broadly, the behind-the-scenes life of these companies — but not to "settle scores". His intention is much deeper: Shcherbakov creates a true "survival guide", extracting the grains of wisdom that come with experience from the debris of everyday troubles.
The author's conclusions are diverse. He talks about the necessity of anger management, the formation of a company's talent pool, leadership, the study of foreign languages, the fight against windmills, the process of firing from a company, and litigation... In this diversity, even an experienced leader will find something useful for themselves.
The book is written in a light, almost conversational style, adorned with numerous memorable quotes from the corporate lexicon, and thus will become an indispensable manual for any passionate leader — this is what the author himself aspired to.
