About this audiobook
None of the above!
Every manager learns from the same source: Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook. This valuable management handbook teaches new managers how to transform themselves from bitter and bewildered ""little people"" into fully functioning, paradigm-spewing management zombies.
In this indispensable guide, Dogbert reveals the many vital skills needed by managers in their daily lives, including:
The power of verbal instructions-sound like a boss while maintaining complete deniability!
Empty promises of promotion-enjoy all the motivational benefits with none of the costs!
Pretending to care-learn to hear without listening!
Company newsletter-communicate without the risk of conveying information!
Competition-experience the joy of setting your people against one another!
Decision making-be a leader without making any decisions!
Incentives-inspire employees by giving them worthless knick-knacks!
Remember: Leadership isn't something you're born with. It's something you learn by listening to Dogbert tapes.
A world-class consultant and bestselling author, Dogbert has spent much of his life giving advice to gullible people with disposable incomes. His brain has many more crevices than yours, so you'd better do what he says.

25 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5just blabbering. I love Scott Adams but this is much below his standards. might be one of his early works..
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great stuff, sarcastic way to expose how the traditional corporate world work from the inside
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Standard Dilbert stuff, several bits to make you chuckle but nothing that leaves you gasping for air.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Read this one last week in a couple of evenings. I was not overly impressed. I never read the Dilbert comic, so it was all new to me. But I found the sarcasm and digs at corporate life to be generally unfunny. Of course, the book is dated as well, having been written in the mid-nineties. There were a few things that made me chuckle but this is not a book I would recommend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book. Adams does a wonderful job of capturing Dogbert's arrogance and some common themes in hi-tech management.
