Product Description "For the armies of American office workers, Dilbert is a reminder that they are not alone."--Chicago Tribune"Cruel and incompetent bosses, plus the pervasive stupidity of people Adams calls 'in-duh-viduals,' are favorite targets in the strip, which appears...on the Internet, in best-selling books, and on refrigerator magnets, coffee mugs, desk calendars, software, neckties, and even underwear."--Playboy magazine Does Dilbert creator Scott Adams have a hidden camera in your office--or is he just completely in tune with the inept managers, wacky office politics, and nonsensical leadership practices that seem to run wild at your company? Stop looking for the camera. Dilbert has become a hugely successful strip because Adams feels your pain. How? Because this former employee of a major telecommunications company has been there. He's seen the leadership firsthand. And he knows that to successfully navigate the ludicrous world of business, you can't expect common sense to prevail, you need to keep a sense of humor, and above all, you must always look before you leap. The strip's enormous popularity stems from the fact that its millions of readers easily identify with the crazy plots and wacky characters found within the corporate environment of collections like this one, Don't Step on the Leadership. Sure, most companies don't have a bespectacled engineer with a tie permanently curled up, a cynical talking dog, and a manager with two pointy tufts of hair. But it's the outrageous things Dilbert characters do and say that leave readers knowingly nodding their heads and, of course, laughing uproariously. The antics of Dilbert's cast are based not only on Adams' own corporate experiences, but on the more than 300 e-mails he receives each day about the office dramas of his devoted fans.

Too Damn Funny! March 24, 2008 Scott Adams obviously sold his soul to the Devil, because no one can hit the ball out of the park every time! It's impossible.
Thanks for making the sacrifice, Scott.
What's so funny about Dilbert? September 20, 2005 2 out of 17 found this review helpful
I always thought Dilbert was a straight documentary, and I never laughed at it, though sometimes I felt like crying, but I never let the guy in the next cubicle see me. Then they were talking about a Dilbert strip at lunch, and somebody told me it was supposed to be funny. I became a laughing stock. Dilbert humiliated me, and now I'm getting even by giving him one star.
Dilbert strikes again September 7, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Every time I sit down and read a Dilbert book I am truly amazed by the humor portrayed and find myself chuckling at something on just about every page. Of course, what's truly funny about it is how it actually happens and many of the stories portrayed are based on actual experiences people have had with their CowOrkers and truly memorable inDuhviduals. yes, there really are people like that. Scary, but true.
Yet another funny book December 17, 2002 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
You have to like Scott Adam's work to appreciate this book, but I don't know many people who don't. I think anyone who has ever been to work or had a boss will enjoy this book.
I Stepped In It October 26, 2002 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
"Don't Step In The Leadership" is a collection of Dilbert comic strips from 1998. Scott Adams has accurately captured the idiocracy of life that is called work. Whether it's the pointy-haired boss trying (and failing) to manage his employees or Catbert: Evil H.R. Director prescribing an anti-depressant drug for Alice, you will be amazed at how much this art imitates your life.
