The Hopeless, Hapless and Helpless Manager: Further Explorations in the Psychology of Managerial Incompetence - Softcover
Synopsis
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.

From the Back Cover
This book is about the dark side of management. It is about incompetence rather than competence. It is about under–educated, misinformed, pusillanimous, egocentric and fundamentally deluded human beings who end up as managers causing misery and poverty to millions. Adrian Furnham is not afraid to take a critical look at management hype and consultant flim–flam. In the first section – Millennium Management Myopia – over fifty topics are arranged in dictionary order in bite–sized essays. Crisp, funny and challenging, they are constructive as well as critical. The second part of this book contains adaptations, by Surgeon Captain Rick Jolly of the Royal Marines, of actual military appraisal forms (from military jargon to management–speak). The final section provides a dozen self–scoring quizzes.
