Penetrate the McKinsey mystique and learn the secrets of the world's largest and most successful strategy consulting firm. "A breeding ground for gurus." That's how the best-selling book "The Witch Doctors" defined McKinsey and Company, the gold-standard consulting firm whose alumni include titans such as Tom Peters, Harvey Golub, and Kenichi Ohmae. Now, a former "McKinzoid" lifts the veil to show the world how the secretive McKinsey works its magic - and helps readers emulate the firm's best practices in problem-solving, communication, and management. The result is a toolkit of techniques without peer, one that brings an expert mindset to such practical topics as selling without "selling" and turning enemies into allies. For anyone who wants to become a better strategic player or get an inside look at the high-pressure consulting life, this guide is a must.
