David Noonan

The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Lion and the Mouse – we remember them as short, sweet bedtime tales with talking animals and pithy morals. But Aesop’s ancient fables were originally conceived and compiled to instruct adults – not children – in proper, prudent behaviour.

It is easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of business books flooding the market today. Even more daunting is the task of weeding through them to find the “golden nuggets” inside. Now David Noonan has simplified the process by providing this well-researched primer of the most essential advice from the greatest business books ever written. Further, in a clever melding of modern business sense and ancient wisdom, he uses the animal-based stories of Aesop as springboards to launch these 50 lessons. Both entertaining and informative, Aesop & the CEO includes advice from well-known leaders such as Bill Gates, Sam Walton, Lee Iacocca, and Oprah Winfrey. The short, easy-to-read vignettes cover every aspect of corporate life: negotiations, hiring and firing, mergers and acquisitions, marketing and sales, and day-to-day management.
