Business People Climbing The Corporate Ladder of Success

Ambitious, and apparently ruthless, business people climb the corporate ladder of success in this humorous concept stock photo. Six people, two women and four men, in business attire are climbing all over each other to reach the top. Who knows how many others are lower on the ladder and beyond our view. The ladder extends upwards out of the frame. In the background is a blue sky with a scattering of clouds, perhaps just a preview of a storm headed our way? This picture illustrates the cut-throat nature of business and the lengths people will go to get ahead.

Corporate Ambition, Greed and Back Stabbing

Corporate ambition, greed and back stabbing can all be illustrated for editorial and advertising uses with this picture. The image is crafted to allow for both vertical and horizontal cropping and comes with plenty of room for mastheads, headlines and body copy. The corporate workers on the ladder are a variety of ethnic, gender and ages. This picture of the ladder of success, a crowded ladder at that, uses humor to provide impact and make the image a memorable one. This is a picture of a race to the top and the antithesis of team work. It is every man (and woman) for himself in this world of corporate indifference and the desperate struggle to make it to the top of the heap.

Ladders As Symbols For The Ascension To The Top of The Business World

Ladders make a great symbol for the ascension to the top of the business world whether that means rising to the rank of CEO or reaching the loftiest of sales goals. Sometimes it doesn't seem to matter who you have to trample over to grab hold of that brass ring. The main problem with using a ladder to illustrate the rise to success and corporate power is in it's over use in the world of stock photography. What makes this business ladder image unique is that there isn't just one person on it, but a whole pack of desperate office workers! This is a picture of executives on their way up, of the journey to upper management and of the way forward.
