The McKinsey Way

By: Ethan M. Rasiel

Narrated by: Michael Butler Murray

When Fortune 100 corporations are stymied, it's the "McKinsey-ites" whom they call for help. In The McKinsey Way, former McKinsey associate Ethan Rasiel lifts the veil to show you how the secretive McKinsey works its magic, and helps you emulate the firm's well-honed practices in problem solving, communication, and management.

He shows you how McKinsey-ites think about business problems and how they work at solving them, explaining the way McKinsey approaches every aspect of a task: how McKinsey recruits and molds its elite consultants; how to "sell without selling"; how to use facts, not fear them; techniques to jump-start research and make brainstorming more productive; how to build and keep a team at the top its game; powerful presentation methods, including the famous waterfall chart, rarely seen outside McKinsey; how to get ultimate "buy-in" to your findings; and survival tips for working in high-pressure organizations.

Both a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most admired and secretive companies in the business world and a toolkit of problem-solving techniques without peer, The McKinsey Way is fascinating listening that empowers every business decision maker to become a better strategic player in any organization.

The McKinsey Way

As a business consultant myself at Bet-David Consulting it was amazing to learn the insights of the most influential consulting company. I enjoyed learning how they think, operate, and solve problems, on a surface level of course.

Eye opening and informative

I thoroughly enjoyed the material, I learnt a lot and I will listen again and I like the way sections are set for easier reference.

Great book, good length. To the point.

Great book, good length. To the point just like he suggests in the book, which he clear demonstrates

Best narrator ever!

A top business book full of humor and interesting stories. Really great voice. Meanwhile this book will bring your Consulting game to the next level. Can't wait to hear the sequel "Mc Kinsey Mind".
