The King Rat and His Court: Lessons in Corporate Greed

In The King Rat and His Court, Bill Bruno sheds daylight on the inner workings of the corporation. He reveals how unqualified, unethical individuals become CEOs. He shows how these corporate officers surround themselves with people of similar character, and how they abuse their positions of authority. Not only does the book describe how you have been harmed by those in power, but it also shows how you can identify them, and test for infestation in your organization. The King Rat and His Court is a fiercely acute commentary on the way society must change to solve the problems of substandard leadership. By comparing the behavior of wayward executives to the behavior of rats, Bruno takes the serious subject of corporate ethics and turns it into a veritable feast for the mind. Eduardo del Rio’s illustrations are masterful, as they display the greed and emotional vacuity of the characters. Anyone interested in management, leadership, corporate ethics and greed will be fascinated by the unique treatment of this subject by Bruno and del Rio.

5The King Rat and His Court Lessons in Corporate Greed is a Timely Read  Apr 04, 2009
By Joyce Holden
Anyone who has any experience in the world of big business will recognize the ratlike behavior described in this book. The descriptions and illustrations are cartoonlike and amusing. It is a textbook in ethics without being boring, tedious or preachy. This is a creatively written, excellent book.

5Timely and appropriate reading given current events. Highly recommended.  Jun 11, 2009
By Midwest Book Review
How do the most undeserving gain the most lucrative jobs? "The King Rat and His Court: Lessons in Corporate Greed" explains one businessman's perspective on the subject, giving an insider's look at how the rattiest of people in business so often rise to the top of corporations and do immeasurable damage to the company, and in some cases, society. Since some blame for the recent financial crisis lays squarely on the shoulders of certain shady CEOs, "The King Rat and His Court" is timely and appropriate reading given current events. Highly recommended.

5Best Book of 2009  Apr 19, 2009
By Anniebow
The best book I've read all year, The King Rat and His Court cuts to the heart of business ethics. Unlike other business books, many of which were written by the rats themselves, this book speaks for the average, hard-working employee. Bruno uses sound logic and a myriad of different sources to make his point. The illustrations bring the book to life. This is not a dry, stodgy business book.

5The King Rat and His Court: Lessons in Corporate Greed  Apr 13, 2009
By Ed Czechel
An easy read and right on the mark. The author calls them Rats, I call them Pigs. My thanks to William Bruno for telling it like it is.
