O.K., we all know it’s a gimmick, but it’s such a good gimmick that you can’t help but be won over. John O. Whitney and Tina
Packer extract timeless truths about human nature from the works of
Shakespeare and apply them to today’s
business world. Theme by theme, the authors tackle power, communication, trust, decision, action, hierarchy and women in management. Linking business dramas and dilemmas faced by today’s companies and corporate leaders to those faced by Shakespeare’s characters, the authors serve up a treasure trove of valuable insight and guidance in this immensely satisfying book. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone in business or outside of it. Because like the works of Shakespeare himself, this book, while aimed at a specific audience, aspires to, and in many cases reaches, more universal truths.
