At 22, the quiet Phi Beta Kappa from Washington University left his native St. Louis for New York and joined the mail room of a large corporation--as does J. Pierrepont Finch, the leading character (who is by now a sort of folk hero) in \u003ci\u003eHow to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Finch, Mead rose to the top. It was, in fact, while he was a Vice President, inhabiting a huge office with four windows, that he wrote \u003ci\u003eHow to Succeed in Business\u003c\/i\u003e. It remained 12 weeks on the best seller list and was followed by several novels on big business. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1957, Shepherd Mead vacationed with his family in Europe and decided to remain there to live. Meanwhile, back home, Abe Burrows and Frank Loesser were concocting from \u003ci\u003eHow to Succeed in Business\u003c\/i\u003e the Broadway musical comedy success that went on to win the Pulitzer, the New York Drama Critics, and almost every other known prize. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike J. Pierrepont Finch, Mead's caricature of a business man, Mead became a sort of folk hero in his own right--but a folk hero with a message. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStanley Bing is a bestselling fiction and nonfiction writer, and a longtime columnist for \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFortune\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other national publications. He is the author of almost a dozen books that explore the boundaries of hard-nosed, practical business strategy and satire. These include \u003ci\u003eCrazy Bosses\u003c\/i\u003e, which, in mapping the relationship between pathology and power, predicted so much of the current political climate; \u003ci\u003eWhat Would Machiavelli Do, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich addressed why mean people often do better than nice ones; and most recently a comprehensive replacement for the traditional MBA program, \u003ci\u003eThe Curriculum. \u003c\/i\u003eHis three novels are \u003ci\u003eLloyd: What Happened\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYou Look Nice Today\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eImmortal Life\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 8.5 x 5.55 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47202502279417,"sku":"9781451627091","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cStBOG9QVExJUXhmdmtncjVDYkI0Zz09.webp?v=1767996576","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/how-to-succeed-in-business-without-really-trying-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
