As Fortune magazine finds, and documents, management is full of nonsensical hocus-pocus.

16 things that take a lifetime to learn
16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN:
by Dave Barry, Nationally Syndicated Columnist
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 21.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine . . . They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Okay, so this is not that great a commercial. I just like it because a little while ago I participated in a case competition, where the case was on the automobile industry and this commercial would have been made a great exhibit. Unfortunately, I found it too late :-(

Ads I Love: FedEx - MBA
0 mts 30 secs
Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.
This one is a classic in its own right. A smartly dressed young manager is setting up his office as the (presumably) administrator walks in, "Hi Tom, I know it's your first day, but we could really use your help."
The eager-to-impress young man follows her, with hopes of an important assignment. His hopes are dashed when the lady asks him to ship a large bunch of packages.
He protests sheepishly, "I don't do shipping." to which the lady dismissively responds, "Oh no no no, it's very easy. We use fedex.com Anybody can do it."
The poor guy tries again, "You don't understand. I have an MBA."
"Oh, you have an MBA? In that case, I have to show you how to do it."
VO: Fedex.com makes shipping so fast and easy, even an MBA can do it.
Yeah, it makes fun of MBAs like me, but hey, it IS fun.
