Book Reviews of Don'T Step In The Leadership:A Dilbert Book
Book Review: If you love Dilbert, you can't help but appreciate every collection, including this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
This edition of Dilbert features the collection of cartoons printed from January to October, 1998. It's the traditional "smaller" collection, at 127 pages. Wally, Ratbert, Dogbert, the Pointy-haired boss, Dilbert's mom, and, of course, Alice... they're all here!
Need some examples?
[Catbert, the HR Director, speaking to Wally]
Catbert - "The company is giving free flu shots, Wally. The shots will be delivered by wealthy stockholders who will hunt you down and shoot you with flu darts."
Wally - "At least I won't get the flu, right?"
Catbert - "You're probably thinking of the flu PREVENTION shots."
[Wally, studded with darts, is complaining to the boss]
Pointy-haired boss - "No one likes being hunted down and shot with flu darts, Wally. But remember: companies are managed for the benefit of stockholders, not employees."
Wally - "I own stock. It's in my 401(K) account."
Pointy-haired boss - "I'm not supposed to tell you, but none of that is real" (p. 60).
and
[Dilbert talking to secretary]
Dilbert - "I need to document your procedures. It's an ISO 9000 requirement. So... the engineers submit their time cards and then you do what?"
Secretary - "I put them in a pile until I'm sure they're all here. Then I move them to the magic cylinder."
Dilbert - "The trash can?"
Secretary - "No. It's a magic cylinder. I put my work in there and by morning it's gone."
Dilbert - "I've been giving you my time cards for five years."
Secretary - "No one has complained yet."
Dilbert thinking, as he walks away - "After today, I am NOT rounding to the nearest fifteen minutes" (p. 106).
Engineers!

Summary of Don'T Step In The Leadership:A Dilbert Book
"For the armies of American office workers, Dilbert is a reminder that they are not alone."--Chicago Tribune"Cruel and incompetent bosses, plus the pervasive stupidity of people Adams calls 'in-duh-viduals,' are favorite targets in the strip, which appears...on the Internet, in best-selling books, and on refrigerator magnets, coffee mugs, desk calendars, software, neckties, and even underwear."--Playboy magazine
Does Dilbert creator Scott Adams have a hidden camera in your office--or is he just completely in tune with the inept managers, wacky office politics, and nonsensical leadership practices that seem to run wild at your company?
Stop looking for the camera. Dilbert has become a hugely successful strip because Adams feels your pain. How? Because this former employee of a major telecommunications company has been there. He's seen the leadership firsthand. And he knows that to successfully navigate the ludicrous world of business, you can't expect common sense to prevail, you need to keep a sense of humor, and above all, you must always look before you leap.
The strip's enormous popularity stems from the fact that its millions of readers easily identify with the crazy plots and wacky characters found within the corporate environment of collections like this one, Don't Step on the Leadership. Sure, most companies don't have a bespectacled engineer with a tie permanently curled up, a cynical talking dog, and a manager with two pointy tufts of hair. But it's the outrageous things Dilbert characters do and say that leave readers knowingly nodding their heads and, of course, laughing uproariously. The antics of Dilbert's cast are based not only on Adams' own corporate experiences, but on the more than 300 e-mails he receives each day about the office dramas of his devoted fans.
