Good Read
Corporate Safari
A well written book and a must read for corporate professionals of all ages. The book has a message for both sides of management - The board level and the employees / working professionals.
In Corporate Safari, the Author - Raj Pillai discusses the issues faced by the men in suits, by giving live examples and illustrating the solutions to some of these problems. Ethical practices can become a part of success if you make an effort. It would seem much more attractive to take the easy way out and earn your millions but to become successful through dishonest means may not give you the ultimate satisfaction. The author considers over these very concerns and provides detailed management tools that can be used to survive in this corporate safari.
Today’s professional wishes to be successful but is in a dilemma - should he be honest and play by the rules or should he follow the example of the negative critical mass which is in abundance today. Every other successful person he meets seems to have achieved success by being dishonest, unethical or manipulative. In fact being ethical and principled is considered a weakness today!
Finally ends the story with a beautiful message to all of us that “be truthful, only focus on organizational objectives”, you will always be a winner, sooner or later.
