Manager by Chance
A Guide to Survival in Business
Angela Deganis
Manager by Chance is the survival manual for every manager whose antidote to the complexities of corporate life is a smile. In the midst of revolutionary great resignation, quiet quitting, talent recession, smart working and short weeks, phenomena that reshape the conception of work and mark our time, with humor and sagacity the author tackles corporate dynamics as Sherlock Holmes solves a case, lifting the Mayan veil and shamelessly bringing to light corporate idiosyncrasies. Through her we discover that archetypes are alive and well and are our office companions, with their tics, their humanity, their weaknesses and their grandeur. A microcosm in the macrocosm of life that reveals so much about ourselves as human beings. In 2023 the book won the First Italian National Philosophy Prize in the Philosophical Practices section.
