Stanley Bing – What Would Machiavelli Do? The Ends Justify the MeannessListen to a sample: http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B002UZZDLE&qid=1280955145&sr=1-1Deliciously wicked satire, full of sarcastic humor that anyone who has had a “bad” boss can identify with 100%. Will help relieve any work stress you may have.In What Would Machiavelli Do? Bing gleefully offers hard-boiled Machiavellian advice about whom to fire in a downsizing (consultants first, secretaries last), how to make employees love you (“Give them perks…. When they’re spending your money, you own them”), and why it’s important that you also kick ass (one of the ways: “cutting them off curtly when they speak”) and take names (so people know you’ll not only hurt them, you’ll also go after their friends). The overriding lesson of this book is always to love yourself, never apologize for anything you do, and when all else fails, recognize that the truth is flexible, and so can be bent any way you want. What makes all this amorality funny is that Bing plays it straight, putting his ruthless advice into an easily digestible how-to format.
