Read excerpt
Weâve all met him. He breezes into the room, charisma charging the air around him. He smiles and jokes to one of his favourites, who blushes and simpers in response. A would-be lieutenant at the end of the table tries to flaunt a boys-together intimacy with the boss via a stagey and knowing guffaw.
