The Mob is notorious for its cruel and immoral practices, but its most successful bosses have always been extremely smart businessmen. Now, former Gambino associate Louis Ferrante reveals the Mafia`s surprisingly effective management techniques and explains how to apply them-legally-to any legitimate business.
After being arrested and serving an eight-and-a-half-year prison sentence, Ferrante went straight. He realized that the Mob`s most valuable business lessons would allow him to survive and thrive in the real world.
In Mob Rules, Ferrante draws on his real-life experiences to offer fascinating advice that really works and to share behind-the-scenes episodes just as outrageous as those occurring on Wall Street every day.
