Lügen in der Chefetage gesammelte Unwahrheiten aus dem Management

While Pinocchio′s nose grows, if Baron Münchhausen is to be believed, canon balls can fly. Each one of us lies up to 200 times a day –– it is impossible not to. Often this is only out of politeness, a little white lie or a half–truth. But sometimes lies can be cold–hearted deception. Lies can help you get on –– especially in business. When managers lie, they want to receive a maximum of performance for a minimum in return. For example, the employees is expected to work as long as possible for as little money as possible, while the customer is expected to pay a lot for a little. Here, the authors Mathias Schüz, Stephen Wirth and Aiko Bode present 66 of the "most successful" manager lies –– towards staff, clients, suppliers, competitors, shareholders, board members, authorities, the media and unions. Without pointing a moralizing finger they discuss this ubiquitous phenomenon among businesspeople. The lies are identified in a humorous way and their applications analyzed.
