Riassunto

Managing up... tweaking the numbers... office liaisons... M&A... office politics... ethical challenges... the capriciousness of success... these are the subjects that Ethan Cooper addresses in SMOOTH IN MEETINGS, the second novel in the Corporate Quartet, his tetralogy of workplace fiction. In SMOOTH IN MEETINGS, a management shake-up blindsides Ward Wittman, a senior executive at a high tech company. Now, Ward has to prove his worth to a tough new boss, who has high expectations for Ward's fading product line. Compounding this stress is Ward's bittersweet family life, which features two teenage children and a socially ambitious wife. Feeling entitled, Ward risks an office fling, expecting a sexy haven free from the demands of his family and career. In telling this story, Ward limns his strategy for corporate and personal survival. For Ward, the trick is to be smooth and unassailable in meetings. How to survive and prosper in corporate life? For readers with this interest, SMOOTH IN MEETINGS is a fast-moving must-read in which the ambition and cunning of a rising corporate star both animate and stifle love in his family.

Su questo libro

L'autore

Ethan Cooper is the pseudonym of Tim Harris, a New York-based editor and novelist who has written THE BUSINESS CYCLE, a series of four novels about life in business and the ethical challenges often presented. These novels--IN CONTROL, SMOOTH IN MEETINGS, TOM'S JOB, and TRIP AT THE TOP--examine the rewards and perils of ambition and success through the careers and family experiences of: 1) a Machiavellian CEO who runs a major bank; 2) a rising star in the high-tech industry; 3) an everyman who muddles through life; and 4) the narcissistic owner of a small business who is trying to raise capital. The plots of all four novels are rich with office intrigue and touched by the presence of the same savvy billionaire.
