Product Description

From Amazon

Looking for a laugh after a hard day of corporate takeovers? Seuss-isms for Success is chock full of clever quips on topics from micromanagement to market speculation. Didn't know Dr. Seuss wrote about the business world, did you? You'll be surprised at just how well his simple rhymes have adapted. In this pocket-sized hardcover, perfect for tucking into a desk drawer, you're sure to find a quick comeback for any naysayer, like "if I wait long enough, if I'm patient and cool, who knows what I'll catch in McElligot's pool." Just right for a recent MBA or graduate, these Seussisms will keep you smiling no matter how irritated you are with your boss. --Jill Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Good old doctor seuss Feb 3 2003
By Anna Klein
Format:Hardcover
I was given this clever little book for my birthday last year (a gentle hint, perhaps, to get me on the right path?), and while I can't imagine paying [$$$] for it, that's about the only criticism I can dredge up. Anything by the good doctor is brilliant, of course. Anything he touches is magic. And we will always laugh.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seuss-like Fun for the Workplace! May 18 2001
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This book is marvelous and is both fun and educational in Seuss's classic rhyming style! It only left me wondering where the real "Grinch" or the corporate "Once-ler" really were among all the rhyming advice? Well, I finally found lots of those true-to-life "Grinch" and "Once-ler" like characters in the hilarious, educational and insightful satire, "MANAGEMENT BY VICE"!! With short, sharp verses, easy-to-read prose and a uniquely candid directness it addresses many important issues in both the R&D and corporate/managerial worlds! My sincere recommendation for MBA students and those struggling in the corporate mill is to memorize "Seuss-ism's for Success", yet never to forget the wise lessons in "Management by Vice" for they will help you avoid the tougher workplace pitfalls and make the changes that count and lead to greatly improved management/employee relations!

5.0 out of 5 stars Have Some Good Laughs About Organizational Stalls! Jun 18 2000
By Donald Mitchell #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Dr. Seuss was thought to have been a writer for children, but every parent knows that there was plenty of content to keep the adults amused, too. Someone obviously had an interesting idea in selecting those parts of Dr. Seuss's work that apply to organizations.

The subjects covered include learning, setting goals, avoiding micromanagement, growth, surpassing competitors, cycles, speculation, chaos theory, the stock market, business trips, synergy, maintaining competitive advantage, synergy, delegating, corporate hierarchies, downsizing, innovation, and higher education.

You may well remember some of the rhymes. The idea of getting Horton to sit on the egg in the delegating section brought back happy memories.

The most apt rhyme to me was the one about having a watcher to watch a bee, because watched bees work harder. Except, of course, the bee did the same after it was watched as before.

Each rhyme is wonderfully illustrated.

A good use for this book would be to share the proper rhyme with a colleague who is getting it wrong. Humor is a good way to bust stalls.

Enjoy!
