Hotseat: for people who face tough questions - a handbook

by Allan Campo

If you are in an executive role, you have been in the Hotseat. You've been grilled. Roasted. You know what it feels like. Ever wonder how people who are constantly under attack from lawyers learn how to get through it? Now, from a leading consultant in communication, this little book oh-so-creatively teaches the principles of preparation for legal testimony and for acting as a corporate spokesperson. You can learn these skills, learn to think like a witness, and apply it to situations where, like it or not, you are in the spotlight. And you won't believe how well it works! Managerial and executive readers will find highly useful insights here that will also reduce the stress caused by those tough board and commission meetings. They will find surprisingly compact and portable ideas; tools to help get them through what might be the most difficult aspect of their job. In many organizations, as in life, it's not how you handle success, it's how you handle adversity. This book will help you handle it and handle it well.
