Management Humor

This book contains 130 humorous pieces in the world of management and organizational relations, compiled by Haji Safidi from the educational, research, and informational monthly “Payam Modiran” of the IRIB Organization. Human resources are the central core and cornerstone of management in any organization to achieve its goals. Therefore, analyzing the performance of human resources to better realize these goals is essential, and humor is one of the tools that can identify and challenge the weaknesses in the performance of managers, employees, and their relationships. Since the purpose of any humor is to highlight shortcomings, evils, corruption, and ultimately raise public awareness to pave the way for correcting wrongdoings, this work can be an attention-grabbing tool in management and employee relations. “A person who recently became a manager went to an ophthalmologist and asked for glasses.
