The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams

The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams

A New York Times Bestseller

The creator of Dilbert observes corporate America in all its glorious lunacy.

"The Dilbert Principle" is simple: In any given corporate space, the most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least amount of damage to the company's reputation, the product, or the bottom line: Management.

Scott Adams' career was spent illustrating this principle every day, lampooning the corporate world through Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In Dilbert, the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing hero of the strip, Adams gave voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace.

In The Dilbert Principle, he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this lighthearted series of essays. Packed with more than 100 hilarious cartoons, these 25 chapters explore the zeitgeist of ever-changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three-hour-long meetings, the bewildering info superhighway, and more.

• Adams' trademark wit as he skewers the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life
• Dilbert strips exclusive to the book throughout
• Hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, management fads, head-turning technological changes, and so much more
• Laugh-out-loud hilarity
