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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott Adams

Nasceu em 1957 em Nova Iorque. Estudou Economia e durante 8 anos trabalhou no Crocker National Bank. Na Universidade de Berkeley, obtém um MBA e trabalha 9 anos como engenheiro na companhia "Pacific Bell", mas as suas relações com as hierarquias não são as melhores. É no ano de 1988 que Scott Adams apresenta a diversas empresas tiras com desenhos de Dilbert e Dogbert. Os seus personagens foram inspirados em colegas de trabalho, o que resulta numa crítica mordaz à maneira de trabalhar nas grandes empresas. De início, o seu trabalho foi recusado por quase todas as editoras. Porém, a United Media ofereceu-lhe um contrato que aceitou de imediato. E aos 45 anos de idade torna-se milionário, graças ao "bonequinho sem boca" que a revista People incluiu na sua lista das 25 personalidades mais interessantes do país, ao lado da popstar Madonna. O seu trabalho já lhe valeu vários prémios, entre eles, o Newspaper Comic Strip Award, em 1997.
