Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel 
Customer Ratings: - Scott Adams scores a hit again. Once again Scott Adams hits the nail squarely on the head as he looks at the modern business world.
His examples are scarily accurate in both the US and the UK, and easy to relate to.
Whether you follow the comic strip or not, this is a highly informational book for anyone who works for a medium to big business. - Scarily Accurate. A truly excellent book about life and all that matters, it doesn t matter if it s lazy you re after or trying to find the smart way round things in difficult situations, this book covers them both.
Sometimes you will just laugh at the things it says, and then you ll think Hey, my boss/cow-orker said that to me and it ll all start to make sense. Sometimes it s scary how accurate it can be about your workplace. - An good intro to Weasel Management. I d seen some reviews of this book that suggested Scott Adams was losing his touch, so I bought it with some trepidation.
I read Dilbert on the Web every day (and I m honest enough to pay a subscription so that Scott doesn t starve). I wasn t disappointed by this book, in fact I liked the editorial material as much as the cartoon strips, even when you ve seen them before the classics never die (just like Charles Schultz s Peanuts). If I had to pick my favourite Chapter, it was Manager Weasels - of course! - Drucker, Senge, Mintzberg, etc. - all in one volume!. And in a much more comprehensible volume, I ve to say. Because Scott Adams does not try to explain what management and general low-fly employees should be and how to make them so great (because nobody has ever succeeded in implementation of those advices anyway, at least consciously) - it tells what they really are and how to live with that.
That book as all previous ones, especially Dilbert s principle should be mandatory reading for all university graduates, especially those looking for career in large corporations.
And for others - well, it s always better later than never. - Give the Nobel Prize to Scott Adams!. As the workplace is getting increasingly weasel
infested Scott Adams should get the Nobel prize
in economics!
Seriously, what did Milton Friedman do for our
understanding of the economy that Adams
hasn t been doing better?Scott Adams distills the behavior of people.
People that weasels to get out of work,
get more pay, or avoid responsibility.
And fortunately his revelations are pretty hilarious. Simply, Scott Adams Dilbert and the way of the Weasel.
is a terrific book about the Weasel zone.
The place where our gross national product is
generated.... -Simon
