Description:
It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it! exclaims Guido Thys in this book.
His pressing question "are you still using the classic 19th century management approach and tools, or have you adapted to the 21st century?" is not always received very favourably.
"Everything has to change!" managers shout at their organization. The fact that they themselves also have to do things differently is rarely or never discussed.
Wrongly, writes Guido Thys, management has evolved from the solution to problems to the cause of them. Management has become a shitty job: managers are not popular anywhere and suffer from work pressure, stress and burn-outs.
Management (à la mba) is outdated. It has been overtaken left and right and is hopelessly 8er. Customers know it and complain 360 degrees around. Employees know it and shout it from the rooftops. Shareholders know it but keep it quiet.

This book offers you, after a not always pleasant reading analysis, practical tools on the 8 points on which management 8er runs. With the accompanying think book you can get started yourself.

Guido Thys brings his thirty years of experience, conversations with thousands of managers and his encyclopedic business knowledge to the table. As the author of 16 books and with more than 2,400 lectures and workshops, he is an established lateral thinker and a thorn in the side. It's a dirty job, but...
