As any employee knows, the goal of all deadbeat managers is to appear busy and advance their own careers while avoiding responsibility or any real work. To accomplish this, managers have traditionally turned to the internationally renowned management guru, Dogbert, and have followed his underground teachings faithfully. At long last, his definitive guide to mastering the key techniques of management will be made available to the general public in Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook as compiled by Dilbert Creator, Scott Adams.

His brisk no-nonsense style and down-to-earth appreciation of the realities of the businessplace make this practical guide an invaluable resource.
