Review
You will enjoy this book if you are a manager or work in a business that is in any way the least bit corporate. Yes, it’s cynical, and yes, not every aspect of the book will match your environment, but having worked for a 200 person company that I really enjoyed, I still found the book hilarious.
If you are a manager, you will especially enjoy Dogbert’s Top Secret Management Handbook because you can guarantee that one or more of your bosses has some of the negative management characteristics Dogbert describes, and despite your best intentions, you do too. This is as one Goodreads reviewer said, “A compendium of helpful management tips outlining strategies for doing little work, taking all the credit and inflicting mental anguish on employees.”
Last Word
Dogbert’s Top Secret Management Handbook is short and goes by fairly quickly especially if you get the audiobook, which I recommend. Take a break from your normal business books, and let your brain relax a little bit with some business-related humor and cynicism.
