Resolved that you’ll begin your ascent of the corporate ladder in the new year?  Then check out Eve Tahmincioglu’s “From the Sandbox to the Corner Office” (225 pages, Wiley, $22.95).

Tahmincioglu, a regular contributor to The New York Times’ business section, interviewed more than 50 corporate leaders about what experience taught them on the road to success.

Among them is Linda Dillman, chief information officer for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., recalls instances of sexism in previous jobs.  She didn’t let it get to her and ended up at Wal-Mart.  “I could have been a victim and still be in that office today,” she said.

And here’s one of the most pleasant things about Tahmincioglu’s book:  It’s written in a conversational style, without a hint of corporate jargon.  For entertainment purposes or to help map a career, it’s good reading.
