Description
The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Lion and the Mouse- we remember them as short, sweet bedtime tales with talking animals and pithy morals. But Aesop's ancient fables were originally conceived and compiled to instruct adults-not children-in proper, prudent behavior.
In this book, David Noonan reintroduces almost 50 of these simple yet powerful lessons, illuminated with the accounts of renowned leaders like Bill Gates, Sam Walton, Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, and Mrs. Fields. Every aspect of corporate life is addressed in these concise vignettes: negotiations, hiring and firing, mergers and acquisitions, marketing and sales, and day- to-day management. ISBN:9780785260103
