Beschreibung
This entertaining and instructive book contains over fifty easy to analyses on a whole range of management topics. De-selecting a boss, Confucius was wrong, and the Seven secrets of highly successful companies are just a few that you'll want to read. The authors present some of the best lessons of management through a series of mishaps. The theme throughout is incompetence rather than competence; stupidity rather than wisdom; insanity rather than sanity. The sections examine some of the odd, bizarre and dangerous ideas, practices and beliefs of managers in all businesses. This collection of essays has one thing in common in that they focus particularly on people problems. The authors include a healthy dose of skepticism and doubt as the first steps to knowledge. They enjoy looking learning and demonstrating key points through by looking at the opposites of the preferred situation. Management competence gives us a good insight into management incompetence; immoral and amoral managers, into those who uphold moral codes and vice versa. They even hypothesize how if some industry sectors either attract psychopathological incompetence or at least encourage it. It is hard not to enjoy yourself when reading this book. You'll find all types of managers are covered from inspirational leaders to middle managers to consultants and more. As you enjoy the book you'll come to realize just how much there is to learn from the mistakes of others.
