Smartest Guys in the Room

I picked up a copy of Smartest Guys in the Room (the Enron story) the other day at Borders and I have been entranced. I should have gotten it a year ago! It has opened my eyes to corporate politics and bad management. Enron did a lot of stuff right in its day, but also a looot of stuff wrong.

I suggest that anyone wanting to go into business, or anyone already there, should pick this up. It’s just great.

Just as Watergate was the defining political story of its time, so
Enron is the biggest business story of our time. And just as All the President’s Men  was the one Watergate book that gave readers the full story, with all the drama  and nuance, The Smartest Guys in the Room is the one book you have to  read to understand this amazing business saga.
