The Mafia Manager: A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli by V.
The Mafia Manager: A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli by V. is a witty, unconventional guide to business management, leadership, workplace politics, and human behaviour. Using the fictional perspective of the Mafia as a metaphor for corporate life, the book presents sharp observations about power, ambition, loyalty, decision-making, negotiation, and professional relationships.
