There are so many "quick-fix" management books on the market today, yet most of them don't contain the common-sense tactics of Clare Novak's book.

An internationally known leadership trainer and consultant, Ms. Novak's breakout first book looks at leadership in a different light; one in which a smart king (or CEO) enlists and utilizes the advice of a few trusted advisors - a Magician, a Sage, and a Fool.

Using her internationally respected expertise and a sly sense of humor, Ms. Novak discusses the concept of successful management from the viewpoint of King Arthur, Merlin, and similar characters from that period. Concepts such as truth, honesty, and care for others are easily and smoothly blended with instilling a positive and profitable corporate culture. Written in a relaxed and informative style, Ms. Novak explains why a CEO needs to find and listen to a few trusted - yet honest - advisors.

Whether one refers to successful management these days as maneuver warfare, maximizing resources, or Trump's "Take no prisoners," every corporation's work ethic and goals flow from the top down - and if the CEO / King follows Ms. Novak's sage advice of enlisting a Magician, a Sage, and a Fool, then there is a far better chance that the business will do well in today's trying times.

This book is highly recommended for both the future and experienced business executive!
