Voices have been raised rebuking the ways in which those with powerful influences have manipulated their organizations, particularly within large public companies. Toyland: The Executive Suite speaks to these conditions through the medium of verse. These poems address the diminished state of ethical practices in some businesses for the benefit of those with influence. They also speak subtly to the ingenuity and invigorating charisma of these senior executives.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor over twenty-five years, author Jan Benitz has served senior executives in the executive suites of various corporations, not as a corporate executive, but as an executive administrator. These poems, written with satire and subtle humor, span decades and expose some of the real costs of unchecked deceit and power.\u003cbr\u003e At nine and thirty minutes, heavy portals flung ajar; \u003cbr\u003e beneath soldiers’ swords, jauntily stands the Czar.\u003cbr\u003e He stands only for a moment, long enough for all to see,\u003cbr\u003e then majestically saunters past his peasantry.\u003cbr\u003e Thou tellest of a fairy tale, of days gone by. \u003cbr\u003e Tin soldiers, castles, peasants, we now deny.\u003cbr\u003e Alas modern-day citizens, for you this poem is meant. \u003cbr\u003e This Czar, this majestic mortal, is the Corporate President.\u003cbr\u003e - from “The Corporate President”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abbott Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156729577712,"sku":"9781458209702","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781458209702_p0.jpg?v=1763866820","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781458209702","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
