Synopsis

What Would Machiavelli Do?

• He would feast on other people's discord
• He wouldn't exactly seek the company of ass-kissers and bimbos, but he wouldn't reject them out of hand either
• He would realize that loving yourself means never having to say you're sorry
• He would kill people, but only if he could feel good about himself afterward
• He would establish and maintain a psychotic level of control
• He would use other people's opinions to sell his book!

About this title

Synopsis:

Machiavellians may not get to heaven, but on earth they have a definite edge on the competition. In this pithy and discreetly vicious guide, Stanley Bing shows how the Florentine master statesman and political thinker would handle today's myriad corporate challenges, seize the future by the throat and make it cough up money, power, and superior office space. More than a road map to success, this hands-on guide will help anyone get what they want, whether or not they deserve it. So what exactly would Machiavelli do? Exploit himself only slightly less than he exploits others Be in love with his destiny For the most part, be a paranoid freak Cultivate a few well-loved enemies, yet have a couple of good friends too Acquire his neighbour Move forward like a great shark, eating as he goes And much much more
