The NEW Employee Manual

A No-Holds-Barred Look at Corporate Life

About this book

  • Dr. Ben Gilad is a leading developer of competitive intelligence (CI) theory and practice in the US. He created a unique wargame methodology which he uses when consulting with clients like Shell, IBM, Kellog, and Intel to name a few.
  • Mark Chussil, MBA, is a pioneer in business war gaming and an expert in business-strategy simulation.
  • The advice in this book is based on solid research (done by the authors in their respective companies) on decisions and performance.
  • Covers 20 dysfunctions encountered in all corporate settings and provides readers with a counter-measure for each.
  • Readers will not find sugar-coated messages or inspirational quotes because the vast majority of corporate employees need real-world advice, not Oprah
  • The book aims to help the 150,000 newly minted MBAs and 400,000 undergrads that enter the workforce every year. There aren't enough new positions and every role requires a competitive edge that just isn't taught in school or shared in the company manual.
  • Book will include access to a simulation program that teaches competing skills
  • Both authors have a teaching background and continue to run seminars and hold guest lectures in addition to their consulting work.
