Review

There are a lot of books out there on leadership but what sets this one apart is the approach. Scott Eblin isn't just talking fluff, he's sharing real-world advice from his experience and the experience of those who've been there in order to help you learn from their combined wisdom. Don't pass it by. The Next Level is a vital resource for you and your team. (Keith Ferrazzi, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Who's Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone)

Marshall Goldsmith, world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times bestsellers, MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There (Marshall Goldsmith, world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times bestsellers, MOJO and What Got You Here Won)

Scott Eblin's book crystallizes the crucial challenges and opportunities leaders face as they advance in an organization. More importantly, Scott provides an outstanding roadmap for navigating specifically what rising leaders need to add to their repertoire, and what they need to let go of as they progress. Scott uses his extensive coaching experience and the experience of successful leaders to show clearly what it takes to get to The Next Level. (Kerry Bessey, Executive Vice President of Human Resources, Time Inc.)

The principles, values, and advice presented in The Next Level have been totally integrated into our company's approach to leadership development. The book is full of practical, simple, and immediately applicable concepts, tools, and frameworks that address the real-world opportunities and challenges facing our executive leaders. (Donna Morea, President, U.S., Europe, and Asia, CGI)

Scott Eblin delivers clear, precise, and practical advice to senior leaders across industries who want to be on top of their game. His deep experience and long time coaching practice enable insights that will resonate and recommendations that can be put into practice immediately! (Beverly Kaye, founder/CEO of Career Systems International, co-editor of Learn Like a Leader and co-author of Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay)

About the Author

Scott Eblin is a former Fortune 500 HR executive, president of The Eblin Group and graduate of Davidson College, Harvard University, and Georgetown University's leadership coaching certificate program, where he is also on the faculty.

Ed Nottingham
5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for newly promoted executives, HR professionals, executive coaches, and those wanting to be executives
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Having been involved in leadership development programs (and executive coaching) for many years, I found Scott Eblin's book extremely valuable. As he notes too often individuals are promoted to manager and executive levels because of functional skills (e.g., great sales professionals, great programmers, the "go to" person, etc.) with the necessary executive leadership skills. "The Next Level" provides those moving into executive levels (and those wanting to be executives) tips, techniques, and specific steps that IF applied can lead to success.

The book is organized into three parts: The Foundations of Personal Presence, The Foundations of Team Presence, and The Foundations of Organizational Presence. Additionally, material including in the appendix can be extremely useful. Personally, I love the "Create Your Executive Success Plan (ESP)" presented in Appendix A. Throughout the book Scott includes "Coachable Moments" and "Data Points," the latter drawn from research conducted by The Eblin Group.

I like easy to remember abbreviations and Scott includes a number that I found helpful including: GPS (goals planning system), GAP (from the work of Peterson and Hicks - Goals, Abilities, Perceptions), William Bridges' 4 Ps (purpose, picture, plan, and part to play), and more.

I was surprised by one of the "2-Star" reviews that suggested disappointment when looking for a book"...that would help new and emerging managers and executives with their transitions into their new roles." My impression is that the book includes an abundance of content that is extremely practical and will help with the transition to the executive level. Because of the usefulness of the book I plan to strongly recommend "The Next Level" colleagues delivering executive development programs and to those working for promotions to the executive level.

5.0 out of 5 stars The next read for people trying to get to "the next level"
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2006
Verified Purchase
I appreciate this book as someone that has excelled at the functional level, but struggled to get to the supervisory level. This book gives concrete suggestions about how to transition from being an employee to being a leader.

It is constuctive in that it points out how stengths at one level can be weaknesses or obstacles at "the Next Level" and then offers a path to "pick up" new behaviors and "let go" others as part of a self-development strategy.

The book also has a handy referenece at the end where you can look up a challenge and it refers you to the pages that address that specific aspect of management.

However, the book is so well-written and readable that you will proabably enjoy reading it in order.

The framework as well as the specific suggestions are original and substantiated with research and great examples. Mr. Eblin is an executive coach and this book has a serier of great "executive coaching" lessons for a fraction of what a personal session might cost. Well worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but not groundbreaking
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2007
Verified Purchase
This book is geared to those who already made to the executive level and are seeking advice on how to be successful in their newfound position.

Being an executive brings new set of challenges which the newly appointed executive probably never experienced before. As with any new job, the new executive must prove that they belong in their new and more important role.

The author stresses 3 areas to consider:

1)Personal Presence (Confidence, energy, and communication).
2)Team Presence (Heavier reliance on the team vs the self, lead rather than do the tasks).
3)Organizational Presence (importance of developing good relationship with other executives)

Although suggestions are meaningful, they are not exactly viscerally compelling. The author seems to focus his suggestions on a narrow group of newly appointed executives with myopic vision. The overall summary seems to be to look beyond the details, and think out of the box and see the bigger picture of leading an organization through better personal, team, and organizational awareness brought on by the bigger scale of influence and accountability of an executive position

Great book for leaders moving up to the next level. Although this really discusses the top level of business, the concepts apply to anyone being promoted into a leadership level that has different dynamics than they are used to. I highly recommend this book for anyone moving to a VP level in a larger organization. It is a must read. Great book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Reaching the Next Level
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2006
Scott Eblin takes the reader on a wonderful ride of executive leadership and management by drawing on his years of experience in human resources and human resource management. For Eblin the essence of getting from point A to point B is more than a linear approach of plotting a course, but a dynamic process of self-discovery and self differentiating behavior. Additionally, in moving to the Next Level, Eblin coaches the reader into an understanding of the component parts that make that moving process work. It's not for the timid or meek. Dr. Jay
