I bought this book for a friend for Christmas, but I couldn't put it down! It's like the author has followed me from job to job. He's caught the nature of the corporate world in a light, easy to read book. I would recommend this book to anyone who works in an office!

Summary of Corporate Fairy Tales

Do you like to laugh? Do you enjoy good humor and a quick read? While growing up, most of us are exposed to the standard stock of children's stories, songs, and rhymes and the lessons they teach. For example, from the Three Little Pigs, we learn a valuable lesson about choosing proper home building materials particularly when locating in an area prone to high winds. The story of Little Red Riding Hood demonstrates the importance of today's stalking laws. But what do these stories teach us about big business? Nothing!

If you have ever wondered why so many front-yard lemonade stands are forced to close within hours of opening, it is because these young entrepreneurs don't know how to develop a business plan or implement a quality program. Corporate Fairy Tales fills this literary gap that some speculate was a key element that lead to the great depression of the 1920's.

Corporate Fairy Tales takes many of the well-known children's stories, rhymes and songs that we grew up with and presents them with a corporate twist. Your readers will have an instant connection to the stories as soon as they read the titles. For example, Goldstein and the Three Lawyers, The Pied Piper of Excellence, and The Twelve Days of Business are just a few of the stories included in this book.

Anyone who has ever worked for, dealt with, or encountered big business (which includes most all of us) will enjoy this humorous collection of stories. If you like Dilbert, you will love Corporate Fairy Tales.

Corporate Fairy Tales is the book you SHOULD have grown up with.
