How to Become a Highly Paid Executive

If you want to make it in the corporate world as a highly paid executive
leading a cutting edge corporation or driving a powerhouse team, you have to
learn to think like an executive - you must become the executive in your own
mind first.

If this sounds like a daunting task, don't fret. You can simply start by
learning to speak llike an executive. many highly paid executives really
don't understand much more than the average joe - Sure they may have gone to
multiple years of college, but sometimes they have missed simple
life-lessons such as don't embezzle or don't break the law. If you
understand those principles and have some common sense, and add in some
corporate big-speak; you too can be a highly paid corporate executive.

Step One

Memorize these key phrases and start using them in all your daily
communication

  • Going the wrong way on a one way street.
  • Push the envelope.
  • Draw a line in the sand.
  • Think big.
  • What can you bring to the table?
  • Keep me in the loop.
  • Dig in the weeds.
  • Are we on the same page.
  • Think outside the box.
  • Shake the trees and see what falls out.

Step Two

Use these power words to add emphasis or confiusion. Using them correctly
so employees don't give you that bewildered look gives you bonus points.

  • Handoff
  • Breakpoints
  • Metrics
  • Process owners
  • Stakeholders

Step Three

Start applying for positions as CEO, CIO, CFO or any other highly paid
position denoted by acronyms.
