SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In The Seven Deadly Sins of Business, author of best-selling Fad Surfing in the Boardroom, Eileen Shapiro, turns her attention from management fads and gurus to the myths and beliefs that are at the root of all business decisions, good and bad. The Seven Deadly Sins of Business gives us greater control of our decisions by giving us the tools for seeing, testing and changing our key beliefs. Shapiro explores the seven most fundamental beliefs that drive the business decisions which determine our corporate futures. She provides signals to warn us when our beliefs are off-beam and risk becoming sins and shows how to bring them in line with business reality.
