| This Is the Part Where You Pretend to Add Value: A Dilbert Book by Scott Adams
| |||||||||||||
 Scott Adams offers up his this Dilbert collection exploring themes of sloth and corporate indifference. The arbitrary, unspoken rules of interoffice emailing, the random policy generator, and the knowledge that management has indeed given up ever trying to win an award for best place to work all combine to make life in the Dilbert workplace as demoralizing as real life. Dilbert navigates through the same corporate 9 to 5 existence in which his readers physically dwell. Dilbert, Dogbert, the boss, Wally, Alice, and Catbert tackle corporate indolence, avarice, and pretense one strip at a time, from the neighboring cubicle whistler to the project naysayer to the guy who's always just too busy to lend a hand. | |||||||||||||

| Employee Engagement: The People First Approach To Building A Business by David Croston
| |||||||||||||
 If employee engagement is about one thing more than any other, it's about the quality of relationships inside an organization: between those at the very top and those at the very bottom, between managers and workers and, of course, between colleagues. When these relationships are strained, performance suffers. Conversely, when these relationships are harmonious, performance soars. High-quality relationships are a by-product of people choosing to adopt positive behaviors. | |||||||||||||

| Talent: Making People Your Competitive Advantage by Edward E. Lawler
| |||||||||||||
 The source of competitive advantage has shifted in many organizations from reliability to innovation and flexibility. But what does it take for an organization that innovates to then manage effectively? In this follow-up to Built to Change, Ed Lawler argues that it is a combination of the right structure and the right people. First, organizations must decide what structure they are: are you a high-involvement organization that has products and services that require a high level of coordination and cooperation among employees? Or do you have a more global competitor structure in which you are constantly bringing in new talent and technological expertise? Lawler outlines the unique human capital strategy for each approach, shows what it looks like in action, and provides the foundation and tools for creating competitive and innovative organizations. | |||||||||||||
