Description

An exploration of the dark side of management. The sequel to "The Psychology of Managerial Incompetence", it condemns incompetence and under-educated, misinformed, egocentric and fundamentally deluded human beings who end up as managers causing misery and poverty to millions. Adrian Furnham takes a critical look at management hype and consultant flim-flam. In the first section, "Millennium Management Myopia", over 50 topics are arranged in dictionary order in humorous and challenging bite-sized essays. The second part of the book contains adaptations of actual military appraisal forms (from military jargon to management-speak). These reveal some of the more common and debilitating facets of the incompetent manager. The final section features a dozen self-scoring quizzes. For instance, are you left- or right-handed? Do you have high or low emotional intelligence? What is your attitude to money? The book is designed to be both educational and entertaining.
