adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. This book was a nice read for me since I'm recently back in the corporate world. It's amusing with practical advice for office workers mixed into the humor and sarcasm. I've learned a few things, I admit. And it makes me thankful I don't work for a huge company, when I see what some employees have to tolerate. Describes life at many office jobs . . . or any job at which one's boss is a pointy-haired moron. Good for cynical laughs. Amusing & silly. At the end he talks about how things could be better. He talks about all the typical management stuff. Het klinkt misschien raar om dit te zeggen van een humoristisch boek, maar ik heb hier meer aan gehad dan welk managementboek dan ook. Het grote probleem met managementboeken is dat ze zichzelf te serieus nemen, en aangezien management geen exacte wetenschap, is elk boek dat niet inspirerend is, op zichzelf waardeloos. Dit boek gaat ervanuit dat we allemaal idioten zijn, en dat sommige idioten zo weinig kunnen dat ze wel manager moeten worden, om kritiek te kunnen uiten op andere idioten. Dat is gechargeerd, maar het heeft een elementaire waarde, die het mogelijk maakt om je werk te blijven uitvoeren, terwijl het management de trend van de week omarmt, en hoopt dat je die serieus gaat nemen. Tegelijk is het boek gevuld met praktijkvoorbeelden uit Amerika, waarvan we hopen dat het hier nooit zo ver komt, maar waarvan steeds meer elementen hun intrede doen. Dit boek kan je inspireren hoe je moet omgaan met zogenaamd leidinggevenden (het managen van managers), maar als je daar niet voor open staat, blijft het nog steeds een boek waarom ik hardop heb kunnen lachen, met een goede selectie Dilbert-strips. Citaat: "Management is nature's way of removing idiots from the production flow". sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com (ISBN 0887307876, Hardcover)You loved the comic strip; now read the business advice.Or should that be anti-business advice? Scott Adams provides the hapless victim of re-engineering, rightsizing and Total Quality Management some strategies for fighting back, er, coping. Forced to work long hours, with no hope of a raise? Adams offers tips on maintaining parity in compensation. Along the way, Adams explains what ISO 9000 really is and assesses the irresistibility of female engineers. The breath-taking cynicism of the strip should prepare readers for the author's no-holds-barred attack on management fads, large organizations, pointless bureaucracy and sadistic rule-makers who glory in control of office supplies. Readers of the on-line Dilbert Newsletter are familiar with the kind of e-mail Adams receives from his readers -- and may even have sent a few of those missives themselves. Along with illustrative strips, e-mail messages provide excruciating examples of corporate behavior which compel the reader to agree with Adams when he insists that "People are idiots". The final chapter offers a model for would-be successful businesses to follow: the OA5 model. It's introduced with little fanfare, no outrageous promises and just the right amount of self-deprecation.
