3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining guidelines not to follow outside the Mob, 23 April 1999

By A Customer

Using most of the clich�s on how the mob is managed this entertaining little book gives practical advices on how these theories are applicable to business life. Or is the author using the mafia management practice as a metaphor to give a new perspective on how business management actually IS performed in many companies? Since most business managers can not wack out a disobedient employee that break the company rules the advices given are of limited value. However the book will give the reader a couple of joyful hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant piece of work !, 21 Aug 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mafia Manager (Hardcover)

The Mafia Manager is all about "what they don't teach you at Harvard Business School but should " The book is an absolute masterpiece and deals with the most uncommon commodity of our times- common sense. It lays bare the world of sharks the real world of modern buiness is. Definitely not recommended reading for "believers" in management jargon of vision, empowerment, longtermism etc etc but a must for anyone who really wants to cut past the crap and get on with the real thing

5.0 out of 5 stars Al Pacino goes to B-school..., 10 Jun 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mafia Manager (Hardcover)

The success of the Mafia Manager lies much in its brash, unflinching analysis of organizational behavior: what makes people tick, what ticks people off, and the means by which to secure advancement in a world where the most important rules are unwritten.

The advice offered is nothing new, of course. However, it is the delivery, with all the refreshing and tongue-in-cheek Mob references, that drive the author's point home in ways that ordinary "management" books fail. Some might appreciate the humor (I did), and others might not. If you can see big business as a cartel of thugs trying to carve up the profits of an autopilot enterprise (as I do), you will likely find the humor in the Mafia Manager to jibe with your dark cynical and manipulative perspective. On the other hand, Stephen Covey fans seeking to "empower" employees, might understand or appreciate the ruthless tactics suggested by V.

Highly recommended!
