  Why do all modern managers do the same bizarre things? Are these methods taught in business schools? Do managers learn by watching more experienced managers? Is it the result of mentoring?  
   
  None of the above! 
   
  Every manager learns from the same source: Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook. This valuable management handbook teaches new managers how to transform themselves from bitter and bewildered ""little people"" into fully functioning, paradigm-spewing management zombies. 
   
  In this indispensable guide, Dogbert reveals the many vital skills needed by managers in their daily lives, including: 
   
  The power of verbal instructions-sound like a boss while maintaining complete deniability!  
   
  Empty promises of promotion-enjoy all the motivational benefits with none of the costs!  
   
  Pretending to care-learn to hear without listening!  
   
  Company newsletter-communicate without the risk of conveying information!  
   
  Competition-experience the joy of setting your people against one another!  
   
  Decision making-be a leader without making any decisions!  
   
  Incentives-inspire employees by giving them worthless knick-knacks! 
   
  Remember: Leadership isn't something you're born with. It's something you learn by listening to Dogbert tapes. 
   
  A world-class consultant and bestselling author, Dogbert has spent much of his life giving advice to gullible people with disposable incomes. His brain has many more crevices than yours, so you'd better do what he says.

  The Land and Its People - Essays

  David Sedaris

  In THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE, his first new collection since HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, David Sedaris reflects on what it means to be a foreigner, a brother, a lifelong friend. He tries on the role of caretaker after his boyfriend Hugh’s hip-replacement surgery, and both succeeds and fails. He buys his sister a cape and discusses his brother with a jaded Duolingo bot. He walks dozens of miles with his friend Dawn and challenges her to eat a truck tire. Ever adding to his list of “Countries I Have Been To,” he rides a horse named Tequila in Guatemala, buys a bespoke priest’s cassock in Vatican City, and goes on safari in Kenya without taking a single photo.   There is sadness here—scrolling through his address book, he realizes how many dear friends are now deceased—but also delight: he revels in authors’ biographies, the malapropism that becomes a decades-long inside joke, and pair of well-made cotton underpants. He is bitten by a dog. A train passenger vomits in his face. A woman on the street late at night either sexually harasses him or doesn’t. Look how hard it is to be alive!   Throughout these essays—at once acerbic and tender, playful and profound—Sedaris shows how much there is to marvel at when you keep your head up and your eyes open, observing with warmth and curiosity this fascinating human species and the lands we inhabit.
