Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Classic Dilbert/Dogbert ( ) Read this one last week in a couple of evenings. I was not overly impressed. I never read the Dilbert comic, so it was all new to me. But I found the sarcasm and digs at corporate life to be generally unfunny. Of course, the book is dated as well, having been written in the mid-nineties. There were a few things that made me chuckle but this is not a book I would recommend. Dilbert strikes again - this time dealing with things that Managers need in their daily lives - including: Pretending to care - learn how to hear without listening. Making decisions - be a leader without making any. I love Dilbert - no, edit that - I LOVE Dogbert! I read this intently to get ideas to torment my long suffering staff even more!!! no reviews | add a review

This valuable management handbook teaches new managers how to transform themselves from bitter and bewildered "little people" into fully functioning, paradigm-spewing management zombies. In this indispensable guide, Dogbert reveals the many vital skills needed by managers in their daily lives, including: The power of verbal instructions-sound like a boss while maintaining complete deniability! Empty promises of promotion-enjoy all the motivational benefits with none of the costs! Pretending to care-learn to hear without listening!
