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 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

-
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 Fun in the office., 23 Jul 2002

By	T D Jones - See all my reviews

If you're the kind of Manager this book parodies you'll hate it (assuming you understand it). If you're not, earn some brownie points with your staff by passing it around the office. I unpacked it at my desk and we all spent the rest of the day laughing along with the author who's obviously worked for our company at some time.

The short and sharp (barbed?) comments are ideal for reading while the computer your Management thinks is fast is opening the latest inspirational E Mail.

Some of it has become topical since it was written with some of the recent management failures and corporate scandals. My personal favourite is:

"You cannot gain professional respect if your personal integrity is damaged."
"Prevent damage to your personal integrity by leaving it at home in the mornings."

From its first Mission Statement to its last page, if you only get a laugh a minute from this book you're either already aspiring to Higher Management or you read very slowly.
