Description: What Would Machiavelli Do? and Throwing the Elephant. Fortune's Stanley Bing has written two very different but complementary survival guides for today's business world. Inspired by the Florentine master, Bing offers (in Machiavelli) a way of seeing colleagues and rivals from 50,000 feet -- as teeny-tiny ants you can squish. When this method doesn't work (e.g., you have a boss), Bing counsels a Zen approach (in Elephant) that will allow you to render the elephant (i.e., your boss) weightless -- and throw and play catch with it at corporate retreats.Sit down. Breathe deep. This is the last business book you will ever need. For in these pages, acclaimed business humorist Stanley Bing solves the ultimate problem of your working life: How to manage the boss.
