Description: "Best-selling author and psychologist, Adrian Furnham, takes a critical and challenging view of the jargon and current fads in management contained in manifestos, mantras and mission statements, and shows how these often obscure and mystify. In his latest book he turns his skeptical attention to such topics as atmospherics, blame culture, compulsory training, fundamentalist gurus, integrity test, networking, personality of organizations and uncertainty avoidance."--Jacket.

"This book contains about 60 short essays or thought-pieces on management"--Pref.
