Take a trip down the road to gullibility as John G. Miller teaches people to move beyond "victim thinking" into actual victimhood.
Drawing on his vast experiences standing in lines at retail outlets he's developed "gems" of advice such as; low paid retail employees should use their own meager salaries to cover for managerial inadequacies and understaffing habits of the giant profit making corporations that employ them. Chocked full of childish anecdotes the book illustrates examples of people doing other people's jobs in the manner of a classic twelve-step enabler.
Be wary of anyone giving you a book about personal accountability that doesn't also include the shocking idea of holding others to their obligations. Likely it's because they don't know how to fulfill their own responsibilities and they are planning on dumping the work/blame onto you. This book is a Trojan horse for goldbrickers everywhere.
John G. Miller makes himself the darling of overwhelmed managers who are hiding in their offices, incapacitated by fear and their own incompetence, by proposing a silly fantasy world where the correcting and coping with the chaos that's created by a management vacuum is the responsibility of those suffering from it, not those who cause it or get paid to prevent it. Apparently inept managers should be out spending their bonuses on cars and golf and we could all facilitate that by just not whining about them being MIA. As the competency of the average 21st century manager continues to decline at meteoric velocity they will need to dump the blame and responsibility for their failure off onto their reports if the bonuses are to continue to roll in. If you're a "manager" unable to fulfill the duties of that management position you took for the extra money and to stroke your ego or because you can't provide any actual contribution to your company's core business then you may also be dumb enough to think that this book is the answer to the panic you feel now that you're realizing that you have absolutely no idea how to actually lead. Simple solution; don't start leading, avoid the tough choices, continue to not do your job and pass these books out to the underlings. Make the ingrates think it's their fault and their problem to solve; if you can con them into covering for you then you can keep doing nothing forever. Considering the average spineless employee, clueless stockholder, and the fact that your managers are probably as incompetent as you it should work like a charm.
Where are all these positive reviews coming from? I can't believe these are real and not just paid plugs or friends & family of the author or the author himself using 115 pseudonyms. |
