About the Books:
The Little Book Of Management Bollocks lampoons the self-help and managerial advice industry with pointed humor and memorable one-liners. Rather than presenting a conventional guide to leadership, Beaton compiles a series of mock directives — from “risk management” tips such as “never investing in anything” to cynical “inspiring others” advice like substituting fear for charisma when inspiration is lacking. The tone is irreverent, brisk, and razor-sharp, blending political satire with workplace comedy to expose the emptiness of many corporate platitudes. Readers will find a parade of faux-strategies, ridiculous acronyms, and pseudo-profound slogans that mirror real corporate communications, making this book both entertaining and educational: it teaches readers to recognize and resist vacuous management speak. As a compact paperback, the book functions as a humorous desk companion, an icebreaker at meetings, or a thoughtful gift for colleagues who appreciate dry British wit. Its appeal crosses generations — young professionals learning corporate culture and seasoned executives familiar with the jargon will both find reasons to laugh and reflect. The satire encourages critical thinking about leadership trends while delivering sustained comedic payoff.

Key Benefits:

• Sharp workplace satire from an award-winning satirist.
• Perfect gift for managers, HR teams, and office humor lovers.
• Concise paperback ideal for quick, laugh-filled reads.
• Useful for spotting and deflating corporate jargon and buzzwords.
