What Would Machiavelli Do? - Stanley Bing

I read this book in tandem with Winners Never Cheat to give me a more balanced opinion. While I enjoyed Winners Never Cheat, Bing's work really lacked academic substance and real world applicability. I concede that it is more difficult to convince people that doing the "wrong" thing is better than doing the "right" thing, but Bing did not even give a good attempt. He just fell on historical political great, Machiavelli, as the end all be all support for his argument.

Didn't convince me...or did he?
