Management Mole

More about the book

A revealing picture of what it is like to be managed, with humor on almost every page and many uproarious scenes. Mole's words, along with those of the people he met, are far more valuable than fashionable theorists. Anyone who has ever worked in an office will find the book hilariously funny. It explores why people work, what makes them happy, and what makes them productive. John Mole, a former general manager of an international bank, took a series of temporary jobs to see how the grassroots reality of business culture matched up to management theories. On his first day, he was fired for incompetence from a job he had frequently hired people to do himself as a manager. Sometimes poignant, constantly surprising, and often hilariously funny, it provides a unique perspective on a slice of life that occupies the waking hours of millions. Anyone interested in the management of people will find much to learn and laugh at in this book.
