Publisher's Summary

From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership by Captain William Toti, US Navy (Retired), former CO of the nuclear submarine USS Indianapolis and former CEO of Sparton Corporation, is the seminal manual for service members transitioning to civilian careers and navigating their rise up the corporate ladder.

You served your country dutifully, and as a member of the US armed forces, you also developed a discipline, drive, and skill set admired the world over. Your success in the civilian job market after your military career ends is all but ensured, right? Well, if statistics and real-life reports from your predecessors are any indication, this transition is not always smooth sailing.

More than 200,000 service members separate from the military each year. More than half of those surveyed about the process felt as if they had little to no help with the transition. That's why William Toti wrote From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership. As someone who successfully progressed from captain of a nuclear submarine to a captain of industry, he knows what it takes to make the most of your military training and what more is needed to rise up the ranks in the C-suite.

From CO to CEO aims to help you get the most out of your industry career, thinking through the kind of company and career track that is best for you. It provides a step-by-step guide to navigating the search, interview, and negotiation process and helps you acclimate to your new environment and to accelerate your climb to the top.
