Our most profitable cartoon after The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. Pointless projects, endless meetings, and random downsizing make up the Dilbert world. This themed collection centers on the inept colleagues who invariably cause office and economic ruin.In Problem Identified: And You're Probably Not Part of the Solution, cartoonist Scott Adams affectionately ridicules inept office colleagues--those co-workers behind the pointless projects, interminable meetings, and ill-conceived "downsizings"--in this thematically linked collection of Dilbert comic strips.Dilbert, the benchmark of office humor, continues to use its considerable powers of humor for the greater good, helping us to fight the good fight at work despite those around us whose job descriptions seem to include undercutting morale and generally doing everything possible to lead us into economic ruin.

"The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" could be a good read for newer managers who want to build effective, cohesive teams. Lencioni's fable and model provide a relatable narrative that both explains and helps develop leadership skills. The manga edition's illustrations make it a fun, easy read while maintaining the book's practical applications.
