OverviewIn this gripping and colorful account of the American dream gone astray, Lewis Pinault takes us to the shiny heights scaled, and the darkest depths sunk to, by those ill-defined creatures known as “Management Consultants.” Consulting Demons is a rare insider's view of the lucrative arena of global management consulting and a stunning exposé of some of the most prestigious and respected names in the business. Pinault takes his readers into a world where a client's interests are skillfully subordinated to those of the consultants, where money rules the day, and where principles and morals are but unwelcome baggage. This incisive and telling book details Pinault’s ascension in the business, the compromises he made to his integrity, and his eventual escape from a world he could no longer come to terms with.
