Move over David Allen - DeskFlyer, on 04/11/2008, -2/+18Make your employees offers they can't refuse.
- GerryBot, on 04/11/2008, -0/+14And everyone who diggs this post will suddenly have to pay 'consultancy fees' for the advice they've just read...or else.
- NewPatriot, on 04/11/2008, -1/+14"Provenzano changed the culture of Cosa Nostra by instructing his men in the art of negotiation and the importance of dialogue."

- canewediggit, on 04/11/2008, -1/+7i've thought about going for my phd and doing a thesis on 'the 7 habits of highly effective criminals.' i love this stuff.
- stonebear, on 04/11/2008, -1/+6Is the mob really that different than a corporation?
The Corporation

- naldwell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4Er... they're not. They're organised crime. Which is a dyphemism for 'illegitimate business'.
- Radigg, on 04/11/2008, -1/+5It should be 8 the 8th being how not to get caught!

- absurdist, on 04/11/2008, -1/+4Hey, you don't have to believe the religious tripe. Just make it look like you do and the sheep will follow you anywhere.
- dollar0dot02, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3business is business
- theghoul, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2that should tell you something.
- adwarereport, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Finally, a decent business article on digg...
- ackermannc, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Be sure to include Wall Street in it.
- TedTschopp, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2Wow, that's a reference that will be lost on most Diggers..... But your hope in humanity is nice and refreshing....
- windandstorm, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2"Be calm, clear, correct and consistent, turn any negative experiences to account, don't dismiss everything people tell you, or believe everything you're told. Always try to discover the truth before you speak, and remember that, to make your judgment, it's never enough to have just one source of information."
There is something very similar, Shakespeare Hamlet Act 3 Scene 1 to this... - brendan09, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1wow...this describes Apple and Steve Jobs perfectly...! (btw I'm a HUGE apple fan, and proud to be supporting the *mafia*)
- dopre, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Hm, so many similarities with GWB.
- speakeasy602, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3this is awesome. This advice seems to be pretty legit. If I ran a huge company that was failing, I would totally try some of these tactics.
- Dellitron, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Common TRASH - the Mafia are simple minded morons ! common street thieves - criminals.
i would spit in thier faces. - kds405, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Hava da big samich with the gabagoal and da mutz! ugh.
- kd1s, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1The modesty thing is a biggie. Live beneath your means lest you attract the wrong attention. Would you believe the head of the New England mob lived above a laundromat a couple blocks from me?
- AbsurdParadox, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1"Rule 5: Be politically flexible"
No can do... I am a man of principle, not an opportunist that will get in league with an armed gang of thugs. - craighoxton, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Badabing!

- MSweerts, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Do you mean to say dysphemism?
- Abram730, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1Didn't bush say something Like : I don't use emails, they can be subpoenaed, or something to that affect? He said something like that in an interview.
- glock22ownr, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Burried you man, good ol' GW could learn some things from this... specially the mediation, and negotiation part before resorting to killing...
- Rotzooi, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I love the constant comparisons of the ways this mafia boss operates, to the ways George W Bush operates.
- ackermannc, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1That's what unionbusters do. However, they prefer the term "Labor Consultant".
- inactive, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Pretty much.
Like politicians, only better. - ackermannc, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1There seems to be more honor in their business than about any other business existing in the Reagan/Thatcher era onward.
- RussellDovey, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Yes. Corporations are MUCH more powerful and effective than the mob will ever be.
- ackermannc, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1naldwell: Organized crime moved to Wall Street after the Mob was deconstructed.
It's easier to hide when you've convinced people that "Greed is Good" and that "Protectionism is Destructionism". Both of which are lies. - glock22ownr, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1So... he's in prison... he must have missed #8) Don't get caught.

- WandelendeCoach, on 04/15/2008, -0/+0Who stated the misconception that crime does not pay?
- inactive, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1*winks* exactly. /s
- eemo, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0I wrote something on my blog, which isnt perhaps as well written as this and makes different points but compares to the Godfather series of films.

No one took it seriously, but oh well. It was worth a shot :) - Gabberwok, on 04/11/2008, -3/+2Try not to sleep with the fishes...
