Your average twenty-something would rather choke on Cheetohs and Red Bull than read another lame career guide full of cliched motivational advice and corporate jargon.
That's why strategy consultant (and twenty-something) Jake Greene uses pop culture references from the '80s, '90s, and today to school young professionals in every stage of the business experience, from overcoming post-graduation indecision to solving the puzzling protocols of office politics.
Like a grown-up Ferris Bueller, Jake Greene shares strategies for moving up in the world without becoming a sell-out jerk. With his irreverent humor, original voice, and love of pop culture, Jake Greene will do for business what Greg Behrendt did for relationship advice, Bill Simmons did for the sports world, and Chuck Klosterman did for cultural criticism. |
