The Mafia Manager: A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli

$8.90
The Mafia Manager: A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli
The Mafia Manager: A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli

Unconventional wisdom from the business underworld.

If you're tired of traditional business manuals and looking for a no-nonsense, cut-throat approach to leadership, "The Mafia Manager" could resonate with you. It offers a candid, albeit controversial, perspective on management tactics inspired by the Mafia, which could provide some darkly practical insights for navigating the corporate jungle. Just remember to take it with a grain of salt – and perhaps not literally.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Expanded from Playboy magazine's "Axioms of the Mafia Manager," this book reveals management techniques everyone can use. Unlike other guides to business, The Mafia Manager shuns theoretical verbiage to present the philosophy of leadership that founded and captained "The Silent Empire" through centuries of expansion and success. Some sample pearls of wisdom include: "Be sure you understand what your boss has ordered before you act on his command. What if you whack the wrong guy, or bomb the wrong joint... Learn the art of asking questions." "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer." "Don't become involved in any office political battle without first asking yourself, 'What's in it for me?' and then 'What's in it for them?'" "If you must lie, be brief."
