About this listen

"Once upon a time, Corporate America paid certain people huge fees to tell organizations what they were doing wrong. These men and women really knew next to nothing. They trashed businesses, destroyed careers, and wasted time and money. They called themselves Management Consultants. I know them well. I was one of them. Welcome to the House of Lies."

When Martin Kihn joined a powerhouse New York consulting firm, he thought his job was to help organizations. In reality, the consultants spent precious work hours prowling for new clients, and offered little or no useful information. From power breakfasts with mind games to the screaming indignity of "Feedback Camp" in New Jersey, House of Lies reveals the truth about a "profession" that could threaten your job, your career, and your life... and even throws you some lifelines should the suits start circling your company.

Please note: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Definitely worth listening all the way through - even the acknowledgements. The writer keeps up his dry sarcasm to the end, and as a Brit, I thoroughly enjoyed that. A good listen while pottering about. If you like W1A, or the Thick of It, I think you'll find this worth downloading. Pre incompetence and greed with some laugh out loud moments. Nice.

Funnier than I was expecting.

Bit of a struggle, get shoe dog instead that's a better story and doesn't seem bitter or have random segue ways
