Description
Lacking the managerial and leadership skills needed to manage successfully a business should not hinder anyone who wants to become seriously rich from a business career. How can you use a position of authority to accumulate perks and bonuses without having to justify them by results? Losing your job because of failure shouldn't be seen as a negative thing, after all there's the compensation package to negotiate and non-executive directorships to think about and then crowning your career by chairing a public sector organisation, a hospital trust, perhaps. This satirical guide to career development offers advice on scaling the career ladder and will keep you from breaching Company Law while getting seriously rich.
