Don't Step in the Leadership

Every time I sit down and read a Dilbert book I am truly amazed by the humor portrayed and find myself chuckling at something on just about every page. Of course, what's truly funny about it is how it actually happens and many of the stories portrayed are based on actual experiences people have had with their CowOrkers and truly memorable inDuhviduals. yes, there really are people like that. Scary, but true.

You have to like Scott Adam's work to appreciate this book, but I don't know many people who don't. I think anyone who has ever been to work or had a boss will enjoy this book.

"Don't Step In The Leadership" is a collection of Dilbert comic strips from 1998. Scott Adams has accurately captured the idiocracy of life that is called work. Whether it's the pointy-haired boss trying (and failing) to manage his employees or Catbert: Evil H.R. Director prescribing an anti-depressant drug for Alice, you will be amazed at how much this art imitates your life.

Despite a limited group of characters and settings, Scott Adams continues to find funny situations for his characters. Once again, over one hundred pages full of Dilbert cartoons and the bunch of characters that we all know so well.Dilbert and his co-workers continue to fight their battle against pointy haired bosses, Dogbert and Catbert. My personal favourite in this collection is Dilbert's discovery that the Moon is populated by the women who love engineers but really, the whole collection is great.These cartoons age very well compared to some strips in the newspapers and they certianly stand several readings. Highly recommended.

Adams, once again, proves that you can laugh at something not because it is funny, but because it is true. As comic relief for common cube dwellers, the reading of this book provides an excellent reason to delay (at least for a while)going "Postal" and providing what justice there may be found in corporate America. In the current competitive business environment, Scott's work also provides an excellent manual to be followed for those who wish to not only fit into established large business/government practices, but who wish to master and excel in policies and practices that are not readily comprehended by those with common sense.
