Sit down. Breathe deep. This is the last business book you will ever need. Within these pages, Stanley Bing solves the ultimate problem of your working life: How to manage the boss. The technique is simple – as simple as throwing an elephant. All it takes is the proper state of mind, a step-by-step plan, and a great leap of faith. This guide provides all these and more, enabling you to mold even the most imposing figures to your will. This comprehensive course walks aspiring business professionals through essential skills needed for navigating everyday workplace dynamics, including following instructions and anticipating needs. Serious students will then move to intermediate steps, from supporting leadership to handling difficult situations. Beyond this lies the ability to influence and even lead – and thrive in a corporate environment. If What Would Machiavelli Do? explored a challenging approach to business, this book provides a complementary perspective. Because sometimes you’ve got to be selfless, compassionate, and adaptable to get the job done. Stanley Bing is a columnist for Fortune magazine and the author of What Would Machiavelli Do? and Lloyd: What Happened, a novel. He also works for a large multinational conglomerate.
