Product Description

This book is dedicated to helping you in your pursuit of excellence, profitability and becoming a less pleasant person. Showing the same incisive and outrageous wit as in his previous books, where he first took on the self-help craze then New Labour's addiction to spin, Alistair Beaton now tackles the management gurus. Read this book and you will be transformed overnight into a successful modern manager, capable of talking authentic management bollocks at any hour of the day or night, because, let's face it, talking bollocks is what modern management is all about. Below are a few of the gems contained within THE LITTLE BOOK OF MANAGEMENT BOLLOCKS...RISK MANAGEMENT Improve risk management outcomes by never investing in anything. INSPIRING OTHERS As a manager, it's your job to inspire others. If there's nothing inspiring about you, just use fear instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outrageously Funny! - A tongue-in-cheek perspective, 25 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Little Book of Management Bollocks (Paperback)

This book is a "must have" for anyone who has been through the ridiculous double speak of seminars, improvement programs and other management performance-enhancing BS and wants to throw up immediately following. It is a great pick-me-up for the over-babbled manager.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book on MANAGEMENT ever....., 26 Aug 2004

By	Big Corla (Mefein, Kerry, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Little Book of Management Bollocks (Paperback)

-
An excellent witty and intelligent insight into management. Its easy to read and contains gems such as:

On Motivation
If you ever assumed Money is the only motivational factor - think again. Fear is also important. Save money, Use Fear.

On information overload
Help employees who are suffering from information overload by not telling them anything.

On delegating
Learn the difference between delagating and dumping.Others dump. you delegate.

Very smart, clever, funny and not in the least bit cliched. Mr. Beaton has some stunning insights in the BLACK ART of management that are rarely communicated so well. I would thoroughly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Total Management Solution (ETMS), 1 Dec 2004

By	Liam Lawlor (Mountjoy, Dublin, Ireland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Little Book of Management Bollocks (Paperback)

Forget the quick-fixing (management-friendly) One Minute Manager crap...Forget the constipated krud of 'Who moved my Cheese' - Mr. Beatons book is all you'll ever need for any entry-level management positions. A small book containing much wisdom as well as wit. If you know anything about management, office politics or shafting all those below you, you'll find this little book terrific. Fot those aspiring to an even higher understanding of management, read In Search Of Competence by Jack Feeney and How to cause Strees by Howard Edwards. All three are short, sweet, insightful, very funny and essential reading for anyone mildly or passionatly interested in management.
