ABOUT THE BOOK
Always wanted to experience the thrill of sacking someone but didn’t know how to do it? At last a book that teaches you how to build a career in management so that you can unleash your inner arsehole.
The Chaser's Art of the Streal is the only book about management theory that comes with a free MBA (from The Chaser Institute).
Divided into seven sections, readers will be fully appraised of everything it takes to become a successful manager, from middling time-server all the way up to mediocre executive.
Includes:
* A guide to corporate slang
* The history and philosophy of management theory
* Narcissism checklist: do you have enough of it to be CEO
* Buzzwords: How to eliminate clear communication from your management style
Interspersed throughout the book are case studies to illustrate common management issues. For example, “Donald” was a mediocre student, bullied and harassed, but he turned the tables “The day that switch flipped inside me I was on the path to success”, he says. Nowadays “Donald” has a senior job managing geopolitical conflicts by watching TV and sending tweets.
Also includes an up-to-date section on dealing with “women” in the workplace. What are they? What are they doing in the boardroom? Includes a case study on “Harvey” didn’t realise women were real people, who would eventually talk to each other.
