One Businessman's Guide to Success Based on 44 Rules of Smart Management

Instead of the generalities taught in standard management courses, this book emphasizes the practical rules which are the true foundations of business success. How do you fire someone? - or hire someone? - or treat subordinates properly? - or fight for your principles? - or establish a high ethical climate? - or face unanticipated problems?

These issues are addressed through the use of pertinent, warm, and amusing anecdotes, all of which are true (although the names have often been changed), and all of which lead to a set of 44 rules for proper management behavior. These rules are equally applicable to the military, academic, and diplomatic worlds as well, and family and friends of the original target audience will be entertained by most of the chapters included.
