The Why of How

The Why of How is a genre-busting, rollicking adventure of an ambitious careerist fired for achieving his life’s goal - the prestigious President’s Club for outstanding corporate achievement. Fresh and original fiction crafted from a lifetime of corporate and business observations, the Why of How features satirical plot twists mixed with topical business irony, memorable settings and characters, with lively dialogue.
Rod, the protagonist, experiences his first failure at the hands of his employer in a sham corporate version of a TV game show in Hawaii. Unwilling to accept the unjust fate meted by his employer, he launches an extortion campaign to regain his job. He turns to his advantage information studiously gathered in observing and cataloging the lives of senior executives in a naive attempt to emulate their climb up the corporate ladder. The many unethical and illicit dealings of the senior executives provide fertile ground.
Rod enlists the help of the vixen Doris, his gold-digging love interest, with other offbeat characters and unorthodox spying methods. Doris becomes the Naughty Nymphet character, staging an incriminating dominatrix video to entrap Rod’s nemesis. Back in the company's strategic marketing department, Rod finds himself in a corporate special operations group staffed with others fired at the President’s Club. Strategic marketing members ironically now are recognized for having the talent and moxie to manage the company's many illicit businesses and illegal dealings.
Meanwhile, word-of-mouth among senior executives reveals a huge and untapped demand for the Naughty Nymphet's discipline services to ground unbridled executive egos sheltered in corporate power trips. Newly empowered with corporate cash, Doris dishes out humiliation and finds a deeper understanding of motivation - the Why of How.
