The Agile Executive: Embracing Career Risks and Rewards (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781925556476)

Marianne Broadbent is a leadership and executive search consultant who works every day with women and men making career decisions and life choices. She provides sharp and informed insights, through her work with organisations and teams, to build and sustain great talent. She shares her personal experiences of taking career risks, making multiple choices and managing a 'blended life' in our new modern paradigm where careers aren't as linear as they once were. She complements this with the thoughts and words of 20 executives who willingly provide their personal and career perspectives on their own trade-offs and 'getting on with it'.

The Agile Executive should be compulsory reading for all women (and men too ) who aspire to succeed in corporate life. - Elizabeth Proust, AO Chairman, Bank of Melbourne

It takes both courage and generosity of spirit to use yourself as a case study for others' learning. Above all this is a very generous book. And like the author chock full of memorable advice. - Diane Smith-Gander, Non-executive director and past president of Chief Executive Women (CEW)

Relevant and empowering, The Agile Executive offers exactly what's needed to adapt to and lead change in our disruptive age. Priceless wisdom from a highly successful leader who has been there. - Stephen M.R. Covey, The New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust
