Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Disregarding the counsel of Jesus and Buddha, Stanley Bing has concluded that if the meek will be inheriting the earth, it won’t be happening in the next fiscal year. Taking heed, the Fortune columnist wrote this bestseller to tell managers how the despotic Machiavelli would have done it. Bing uses the teachings and actions of the Florentine master politician to instruct postmodern managers on thriving in shark-eats-shark office politics.
