If you find yourself in the office wondering what on earth is driving the recurring corporate nonsense, this book will help you figure it out. Managed by Morons exposes the dysfunctional behaviour that is seen in large (and small) organisations and explains the reasons behind it with a mixture of humour, (head-in-hands) case studies and the occasional bit of academic theory. The book covers a host of topics, including: •\tWhy you shouldn’t let your Human Resources department manage people. •\tThe heavy metal icon who is the master of Risk Management. •\tThe secret behind Europe’s cleanest men’s rooms. •\tHow dishonest bureaucrats cost a German industrial powerhouse billions. •\tWhy political pressure landed 35 teachers in court on racketeering charges. But most importantly, it answers the question: How do you build a thriving organisation? There are management morons everywhere. Reading this book will stop you from joining them.
