School Management

How do terrible leaders become so incompetent? Have you ever had a boss that made you wonder how they ever got promoted when they are inept? Have you ever seen someone hired to lead an organization and they left it far worse than they found it? How did they become so poor with their leadership and management skills? In this hilarious and entertaining satire, we learn that terrible leaders and managers might have actually gone to school to learn how to be poor at leading employees and managing organizations.

The need for and demands on leadership have changed radically in the past few years. To be a dynamic and effective leader of a 21st-century organization or corporation requires an entirely different strategy and set of skills than it did just five or ten years ago. In fact, much of the best advice and examples from even the last decade no longer apply.

In the process you might gain a more realistic grasp of what's going on around you and how your mind is being manipulated (i.e., brainwashed).
