W.C. Fields' grandson, Ronald Fields, draws on the comic's biography, movie plots and sayings to illustrate key business principles. He covers such topics as leadership, creativity and innovation, managing change, effective teamwork, delegation, budgeting, office politics and communication. Many of the ideas for business success are familiar - but the link with W.F. Fields makes them novel and entertaining. Appropriately, the book is written in a breezy style that makes it enjoyable to read, and Fields includes a summary of key principles at the end of each chapter. We at ... particularly like the collection of W.C. Fields' humorous sayings at the end of the book. Even though some ideas and, for shame, even some sentences are repeated, the book has broad appeal for anyone who likes business and loves to laugh. If you're thinking stocking stuffer or get-well gift, this'll do.

I just got this book,so I havent read it yet. I read what other people think about it however,and it seems like a pretty good book. I don't like to read but if I have too I want it to be a funny book or a book about cars. I think I am going to stick with this book.
