House of Lies
How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time
Once upon a time Corporate America paid certain people huge fees to tell
organizations what they were doing wrong. These men and women really
knew next to nothing. They trashed businesses, destroyed careers, and
wasted time and money. They called themselves Management Consultants. I
know them well. I was one of them. Welcome to the... HOUSE OF LIES.
When Martin Kihn joined a powerhouse New York consulting firm, he thought his job was to help organizations. In reality, the consultants spent precious work hours prowling for new clients, and offered little or no useful information. From power breakfasts with mind games to the screaming indignity of "Feedback Camp" in New Jersey, HOUSE OF LIES reveals the truth about a "profession" that could threaten your job, your career, and your life...and even throws you some lifelines should the suits start circling your company.
