The Dilbert Principle: A Cubicle's-Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads & Other Workplace Afflictions

Rating:
Summary: Good, but could use some improvement.
Review: This book is supposed to be a mixture of words and comics. Unfortunately, some comics are too good for Adams to resist: he just can't use them only once. Other than that though, it is an interesting book, with both humor and, sadly, a bit of truth

Rating:
Summary: Scott Adams at his best!
Review: No words describe enough the ingenuity of Adams. The TV serial "Dilbert" irritates me a whole lot the book doesnt!

Rating:
Summary: Great!
Review: I am a huge Dilbert fan and I think that this is one of Scott Adams's best. Keep up the good work.

Summary: Bil Keane He's Not
Review: Scott Adams book, The Dilbert Principal, is much more complex and interesting than his various Hitchhiker Guides (which I found virtually useless in my own travels), but still I have to say, "I've read Bil Keane, Mr. Adams, and you sir are no Bil Keane." That is not to say that the Dilbert book is without virtue. His chapter on the business philosophies of Chrysler Corp saviour, Leigh Iacocco,is worth the price of the book alone. And his intimate portrait of Ross Perots will rock your world. So buy the book. Then go check out the work of the master, Bil Keane.

Summary: THIS IS A FUN BOOK TO READ AND APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE
Review: THIS IS A FUN BOOK, EASY TO READ AND TO BE ABLE TO APPLY WHAT YOU GET FROM IT. WHAT YOU PICK UP YOU WILL USE IN EVERYDAY LIFE. AS THE MANAGER OF A MID SIZED DISTRIBUTION COMPANY WE FOUND THAT THIS WAS A BOOK WE WOULD REFER TO AGAINAND AGAIN. ANOTHER GOOD BOOK WE USE IS THE 2000 PERCENT SOLOUTION. THIS IS ALSO AN EASY READER THAT CAN HELP YOU OVER COME THE STALLS THAT PALGUE US BOTH IN THE OFFICE AND AT HOME. KEEP BOTH BOOKS IN PLAIN SIGHT, YOU'LL USE THEM OFTEN.

Summary: This Book Excels at Pointing Out Organizational Stalls
Review: My work involves helping company leaders identify the causes of "stalled" thinking in the organization. What impresses me about this book is how many of the causes Scott Adams has identified. The man is clearly a great observer of organizations. His crusade against "stalled" thinking (especially by the leaders) also means that others with keen insights send him their observations, as well. Future historians of the American corporation would do better to start with Scott Adams than most of the organizational theory and practice business books that have been written. His humor is excellent, because he is unerring in picking the right balloon to prick. As a management consultant, I regularly reread his chapter on management consultants to be sure that I am not behaving like the ones he describes. Keep these wonderful books and comic strips coming! Be sure to post the strips where they will get the most attention. Maybe you will help someone wake up in your leadership!

Summary: Humor with a sting of reality
Review: Anyone who has worked for a large, bureaucratic corporation will love this and other Dilbert books. My cubicle at work is plastered with Dilbert comics. If they make me take them down, it's quitting time! Funny from beginning to end.

Rating:
Summary: A very reallistic and funny book
Review: A must read book for engineers, managers and bureaucrats. Everything said is so real, sometimes I think Scott Adams knows where I work...

Rating:
Summary: a hilarious book
Review: Scott Adams explains the world of engineering with the help of dilbert comic strips and e-mails sent to him by readers complaining about their job. A terrific book if you enjoy dilbert stips or books on engineering.

Rating:
Summary: Funny, as always
Review: If there are two people on the planet who should be praised and showered with gifts, they are Dave Barry and Scott Adams, the two funniest writers alive. This book should be bought by anyone who likes to laugh and can read. Althoguh this isn't the funniest book ever written, it is very, very close. Buy it.
