Review
Confronted consistently by malicious managers, contemptuous coworkers, inept underlings and stressful situations, today's working stiff often feels pummeled from all sides. Working Wounded: Advice That Adds Insight to Injury, by journalist and consultant Bob Rosner, is a lighthearted but deadly serious map through the minefields of the corporate world that offers recommendations on an abundance of tools and techniques that can be used to make it safely from nine to five. A series of insightful illustrations throughout by New Yorker cartoonist Robert Mankoff pokes perceptive fun at the whole business scene. --Howard Rothman
From Booklist
With some practice and sharp editing, Rosner could be considered the prose version of Scott Adams' "Dilbert" cartoon. He is irreverent, truthful, witty, and, above all, pulls no punches in outlining options in this strange new world of work. How does he keep a reader's attention since, after all, he dwells on the same old topics of hiring, firing, and entrepreneuring, among others? Easily . . . through a combination of answered e-mail letters to his Web site, statistics, cartoons (non-" Dilbert"), actual "working wounded" stories, and quotes to keep the reader thinking. How to manage one's boss? In short, tailor one's interactions to meet the boss' needs. On the issue of assuming a manager's role, President Ike is quoted: "You do not lead by hitting people over the head--that's assault, not leadership." About succeeding in sales, he cites the 10-3-1 rule: 10 contacts, 3 presentations, 1 sale. Informative and interesting. Barbara Jacobs
