Executive Crumple Zone
Description:
When high-energy entrepreneur Dave Powers becomes head of marketing at a large health insurance company, he has no idea he's in for the roller coaster ride of his life. Used to operating independently, he's unprepared for the twists and turns of office politics, departmental turf wars, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans of narcissistic bosses and groveling sycophants.
Based on true events, this story is told in a series of emails, many of them verbatim. Dave's roughshod ride through the corporate corridors of bureaucracy is as hilarious as it is heart-breaking. His experience, including the creative triumphs,managerial incompetence, and exasperating fiascos is an object lesson of the realities of power, greed, folly and success in today's dysfunctional business world.
