What would the Buddha do if he had to deal with a rampaging elephant of a boss every day? That is the premise of Stanley Bing's wickedly funny guide to finding inner peace in the face of relentlessly obnoxious huge and sometimes smelly bosses. Taking the concept of managing up to a new cosmic plateau Bing urges no less than a revolution of the spirit in the American workplace turning overwrought oppressed stressed - out employees into models of Zen - like powers of concentration able to take their elephant - like bosses and grey lumbering companies and twirl them around the little finger of their consciousness. In Bing's unique tradition of social criticism cum business self - help Throwing the Elephant presents Four Truths (or possibly Five) a Ninefold Path and one useful hilarious guide to workplace sanity success and enlightenment that surpasses all understanding survival.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Throwing The Elephant Zen And The Art Of Managing Up\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Bing Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Harpercollins Publishers Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780060934224\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/28\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Advice On Careers \u0026amp; Achieving Success","brand":"Bing Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51332872634673,"sku":"IN-G-9780060934224","price":17.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780060934224-throwing-the-elephant-zen-and-the-art-of-managing-up","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
