From the master of stolen ideas, sycophancy, and blame shifting, here is a kick-ass, take-no-prisoners management and manipulation manual—which, by the way, works as well at home as it does in the office.

How to Win Fiends and Influence People presents information in bite-size chunks to give the illusion of efficiency.
