Описание книги

Office politics, power struggles, ulterior motives, personality differences …all combine to make this cynical poke at the «executive branch» of a typical office highly entertaining. The setting takes you to a management training program where several managers are invited to attend. As we watch form the sidelines we are witness to undercurrent of what really goes on. This is pure entertainment disguised as education! Using extensive research and personality tests for a look into human behavior we are able to glean from this witty and ironic work. Performance versus personality, management versus leadership all play a part in the clever portrayal of the world of executives. As the managers are skeptical about the motives of those who organize and conduct management conferences, they meet to discuss tactics. At the conference they argue with the psychologist who is trying to entertain them. The conference proceeds in the face of questions and arguments which challenge the authority of the psychologist who attempts to control the protagonists. But the conference participants have other ideas… Sit back in your seats, prepare to laugh uncontrollably.

A management conference allows a teacher to train, educate and entertain executives. Some consultants try to do all three, and they inevitably fail. The greatest challenge is to educate executives and this can be attempted, without a guarantee of success, in diverse ways: in classrooms, conferences, through textbooks, novels and, rarely, plays. The form which I have chosen for discussing what goes on in management conferences is that of the disputation in the form of a two-act play.

Now, playwrights feel that cutting material is akin to self-castration and they have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the editing table. Their normal reaction, after removing a few commas, is to refuse further cuts and cross their arms. Sanity generally prevails, however, when they realise that their chances of having a play performed, especially if they are virgins, is close to zero. And so they agonise about which body part to amputate.
