Synopses & Reviews
The ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy is the foundation of strength, and that those who fight best are those wise enough not to fight at all. These people were revered and known as "warrior-sages." Now, we refer to them as "suckers." Sun Tzu Was a Sissy teaches you how to wage war, win, and enjoy the plunder in the real world. Students of Master Stanley Bing will learn how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot and advance their flags and those of their friends. Every other book on the "Art of War" bows low to Sun Tzu. This one tells him to get lost.
Synopsis
Jam-packed with new anecdotes, updated references, and modernized jokes, Stanley Bing's seminal investigation of what makes bosses crazy is now revised for a new generation.
Fans of television's The Office and the cult film Office Space will love this classic guide to the universal workplace phenomenon of crazy bosses, now updated for a new century's worth of insane supervisors. Bestselling author and business guru Stanley Bing's Crazy Bosses identifies the various types of crazy bosses--the boss with the five brains, the bully, the paranoid boss, the narcissist, the "bureaucrazy," and the disaster hunter--and offers readers concrete strategies on how to cope, and, most importantly, how not to become crazy bosses themselves.
