I’ve recently read a couple of books that made me chuckle along. If you have sat through boring sales presentations, listened to cliche-laden speeches, or tried to decipher an e-mail from a consultant, please read Why Business People Speak Like Idiots : A Bullfighter’s Guide. The book provides a good “value proposition,” and will help you develop a “synergy” with your staff, clients and vendors. Did you catch all that bullshit? If not, read the book, or at least download the FREE Bullfighter software.
The other book is House of Lies : How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time. Since I am a consultant and have used and worked with consultants, I could really relate to the author’s experiences and found myself laughing out loud.
I think these books could be sold as a set, an entertaining duo of books. They are not “deep exposes” of consulting or business speak, but you may learn a thing or two. And most of all, enjoy, and don’t read in a public place. When you start laughing, everyone looks at you with a weird smile on their faces.
