From this classic tome, learn everything you need to know to land the corner office:

  • How to make money
  • How to make more money
  • How to choose the right company (one big enough so that nobody knows exactly what anyone else is doing)
  • How to cultivate the appearance of extreme busy-ness through strategic desk management
  • How to delegate responsibility (have plenty of assistants!)

First published in 1952, this guide inspired the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, which returned to Broadway in 2011 in a production that starred Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is essential reading for the ambitious and the lazy alike.
