Book excerpt: "From Asia we've learned the Art of War, the Tao of Leadership, kaizen, and even how Confucius would ask for a raise. But we haven't learned the most important secret of corporate life: how to keep our sense of humor." "Traditional Japanese haiku combine natural images, metaphors, and a flash of insight, all in three short lines. With 101 Corporate Haiku, longtime business consultant and Asia-watcher William Warriner brings this time-honored tradition to the office. His slightly subversive verses have been circulating among managers for months, popping up on bulletin boards and fax machines from coast to coast. Here they are collected for the first time, bringing a healthy dose of sunlight into the corporate world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
