There were sections of the book that just had too much dialogue that I was not interested. The book was written in the 1950s so quite a bit of it is dated, particularly as it relates to business culture and norms. I think this book was made into a movie and I can see where there is enough editing that it could be a compelling story. As the book starts out, Lincoln Lord is an out of work CEO. He has bills to pay and an ambitious wife to satisfy. He also has a spotty work record where his average tenure in his jobs was two years causing him to be termed " unemployable." This is not the type of book that I would recommend to anyone – – it's a bit soap operaish than anything else. It may have been a decent read in 1960 but it just didn't hold my attention in 2016.

A corporate executive who has fallen from grace seizes an opportunity to salvage his career with the help of his ambitious wife in this gripping, psychologically astute New York Times-bestselling novel from the author of Executive Suite The keys to Lincoln Lord's success have always been his charm and amiability. He has been president of five different companies and serves as chairman for the White House's Far East Trade Mission. But now, just shy of fifty, he is no longer considered the boy wonder of business. He's unemployable. He and his wife, Maggie, have been forced to move out of their suite in Manhattan's Waldorf Tower and they have yet to pay this semester's tuition for their seventeen-year-old son's private school. Then Lincoln is thrown a lifeline. Coastal Foods, a struggling cannery in New Jersey, needs a top executive to help get the company back on its feet. For the first time, Lincoln feels a part of something bigger than himself. And when he and Maggie are drawn into a major crisis at the plant, his leadership position is no longer just a job--or a steppingstone to the next one. It's a means of reclaiming his pride, his family, and his humanity. No library descriptions found. |
