    About this ebook

    Dave McKenna is up for a promotion at work and the one person who stands in his way is corporate instructor Lida Lawrence. She doesn’t think that nice-guy Dave has what it takes to be an executive so she offers him a weekend tutorial. If he passes, she’ll recommend he get the job.

    The weekend tutorial is actually an intense hands-on thirty-six hour session with Mistress Lida. Will Dave submit to Mistress Lida’s unique training methods or will the student become the teacher?

      Chapter One

      How badly do you want the promotion?

      What? Sorry? Dave McKenna looked at his instructor, Lida Lawrence, an outside consultant brought in especially to teach this course for managers who were on the executive track at his company. He and the other managers in his division had just completed a six week training course, and the instructor had handed back their test results. He had done very well. Better than anyone else, in fact. Eighty-seven percent. That was an A in anyone’s book. He was pleased. But now everyone else had been allowed to leave except him. He might be an adult, but being asked to stay after class by the teacher was making his stomach churn just like he was back in grade school and Miss Martindale was explaining to his parents how he’d stuck gum in the long blonde hair of a girl he’d liked.

      There were no parents involved this time. No, the stakes were higher. His career.

      "Please take a seat up front, Mr. McKenna. I’d like to talk to you about the course and your prospects with this organization.

      I don’t understand, I passed.

      "Yes, you passed the written work. You have the best test score in your company, but it’s your classroom performance I have questions with.

      I’m sorry. Did I do something wrong?

      See, there it is again. You are a very nice man, Mr. McKenna.

      Why does everyone say that like it’s a bad thing? I’m nice. What’s wrong with being nice, Miss Lawrence?

      "Nothing in day to day life. In fact, it’s a great trait in a husband, boyfriend, father, or a friend. However, it’s not the most desirable trait for an executive. You’ve heard the saying, I’m sure. Nice guys finish last?

      You know the material, but I don’t get that killer instinct from you. You are kind and thoughtful, and, yes, smart. But do you have what it takes to be an executive with this company?

      I think I do. I know I do. What’s wrong with being a nice guy? You make it sound like a character flaw. He paused. "You aren’t talking about doing something unethical, are you? I won’t violate either the company Code of Conduct or the
