Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook

De: Scott Adams

Narrado por: Scott Adams

Why do all modern managers do the same bizarre things? Are these methods taught in business schools? Do managers learn by watching more experienced managers? Is it the result of mentoring?

None of the above!

Every manager learns from the same source: Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook. 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!

Company newsletter-communicate without the risk of conveying information!

Competition-experience the joy of setting your people against one another!

Decision making-be a leader without making any decisions!

Incentives-inspire employees by giving them worthless knick-knacks!

Remember: Leadership isn't something you're born with. It's something you learn by listening to Dogbert tapes.

A world-class consultant and bestselling author, Dogbert has spent much of his life giving advice to gullible people with disposable incomes. His brain has many more crevices than yours, so you'd better do what he says.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Adams' voice sounds like the guy in the cubicle next to yours, who has learned to deal with corporate bureaucracy while poking fun at it. With just the right touch of sarcasm in his reading, Adams will have you laughing." (AudioFile)

Helpful tips on ruling your underlings

It isn't easy being sadistic. for some people though it comes naturally, and although he would argue that is simply the pragmatic way of things, Dogbert is sadistic in his own ways. If you too, are interested in learning how to be..er.. pragmatic with your employees, then this is the management handbook for you.

Funny because it's true

It's a worry that Scott Adams' humourous
observations seems to be so grounded in
everyday reality. You have a good laugh,
but then a terrible sense of dread settles
over you when you reflect on the state of
the world - I find it's better not to do
this and just laugh. :-)

A Great Audio of Pure Dilbert Goodness!
