Product Description

Product Description
First published in 1997, the successor to The Dilbert Principle is this time written by Dilbert's canine, Dogbert. He teaches new managers vital skills such as how to be leaders without making any decisions and how to inspire employees by giving them worthless knick-knacks. Scott Adams combines the challenges at work with the challenges of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, unless you work there....., 24 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Reading this makes you laugh out loud, then you think "Hey, my boss said that to me!" and you realise that its very close to the way some people actualy think. People do think like this, companies do issue stupid orders without thinking them through, policies that make no sense are still enforced, and all the time people below such bosses are thinking "How does he do that?" or, more often, "Why does he do that?" and "Why is he still here?" A book like this works because it is close to the truth, you read it and relate to it. This is very close to the truth and very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars A howl of recognition and of protest, 4 Oct 2008
By Dr. Nicholas P. G. Davies (Halifax, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is my favourite of the Dilbert books. It condenses so much knowledge down into a hilarious and biting book.

This book has me rolling around the floor laughing. But it also teaches me a lot about how managers think, and how to get round them, or reduce them to absurdity...which they are so thick they never recognise. Mauve truly has the most RAM for most managers. And if they don't understand that they can pay a management consultant to pull the wool over their eyes and convince them that do understand it. And clearly all mistakes are due to character flaws in employees.

The more we discover about our managers the less sensible they appear. The question arises, "How well could we live without them?" This book lampoons management activity mercilessly and accurately, and hilariously.

Highly recommended, and you may both laugh and cry at the stupidity of it all. Many a true word is spoken in jest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only for members of the Ruling Class, 28 Mar 2008
By Maclennane (Horsham, Sussex) - See all my reviews
  
If you are a manager, this instructive and practical business guide will help you maintain the status quo. This has any number of benefits including camoflaging your laziness and gross inadequacy, demotivating those who might otherwise leapfrog you on the career ladder and allowing you more time for golf.

If you are a minion, stay away. Some things, whilst extremely amusing, are far too painful to know.
