I was fan of Stanley long before the blog, his books line my shelf. While his advice may seem a little on edge to some – it works. At the end of the day his grasp on the corporate world is raw and real. I started working for an executive years ago that read Stanley’s books and in fact he is the hero that introduced me to the world of Bing! That executive rocks, the most effective C level guy I’ve ever worked with. Is that due to Bing’s advice? Who knows…but I can see how it resonates in the reality of office life…Stanley should have his own reality show – a cross between survivor island and the apprentice…where the winner gets to keep their paycheck.

Stanley, your are cordially invited to Bangalore. A man of your great insight will enjoy the mass confusion at the airport, the “you bet your life traffic”, the five star hotels so overstaffed that you can’t get served, and shall we say the local intestinal concerns that make toilet paper a brief case must. Don’t worry not too many senior execs like you die here. Have a great trip and pay close attention to the signs “no spitting on stairs.”
