The Cyber Leadership Imperative: Powerful Strategies to Unlock Your Potential and Become an Exceptional Cybersecurity Executive - Paperback

by Phillimon Zongo (Author), Darren Argyle (Author), Jan Schreuder (Author)

There has never been a better time to become a business-centred cybersecurity executive. Lucrative salaries, direct access to boards, and lifetime opportunities to build fully-fledged cyber security functions from scratch, are enticing cybersecurity professionals into the executive space.

But without an actionable and rock-solid roadmap, most aspiring cyber leaders feel like they're wading through quicksand. Many find themselves entrenched in functional roles, facing career stagnation and being routinely overlooked for promotion.

This book not only provides a clearcut roadmap for aspiring cyber leaders to shatter the technical ceiling, but also helps more experienced cyber leaders scale their organisational clout and impact.

Co-authored by three notable authorities in cybersecurity, this book is jampacked with case studies to help you navigate the complexities of a modern-day senior cybersecurity executive role.

The powerful strategies in this book will help you in five distinct ways:

Stand Out in Executive Interviews: convey leadership authority and cultural fit

Deliver with Confidence in Your First 100 Days: achieve quick wins and set the stage for long-term success in your new role

Transform into a Business Executive: radically uplift your strategic influencing skills to have impact with boards and C-suite

Build and Lead High-Performing Teams: coach for performance, empower to forge trust, and instil team resilience
