Management of the Absurd

Chapter titles from Richard Farson's "Management of the Absurd"

Nothing is as invisible as the obvious

Once you find a management technique that works, give it up

The opposite of a profound truth is also true

Effective managers are not in control

We think we want creativity or change, but we really don't

The more we communicate, the less we communicate

The better things are, the worse they feel

Planning is an ineffective way to bring about change

Morale is unrelated to productivity

My advice is don't take my advice
