Management: leadership & motivation; Working patterns & practices; Humour

Welcome to Management-It's a Circus.

You thought leadership meant strategy, growth, and team-building.

Instead, you're handling plumbing failures, corporate jargon, and employees who overshare about their buttholes.

This is not a leadership book. This is a brutally honest, snark-filled survival guide for anyone who has ever:

Dealt with clueless executives who love meaningless buzzwords Managed employees who constantly push workplace boundaries Sat through meetings that could have been an email Wanted to throw their laptop into the void after receiving a ""per my last email"" message

Packed with hilarious real-life stories, workplace absurdities, and painfully accurate corporate chaos, The Shitty Truth About Management will make you laugh, cringe, and feel deeply seen.

Already a manager? This book will validate your frustrations.

Thinking about becoming one? This book will make you rethink everything.

Just love workplace drama? Buckle up-you're in for a ride.

If you've ever worked in management, customer service, or corporate hell, this book is your therapy, survival guide, and reality check all in one.

Nikki Katz is a management professional turned chaos navigator, with over a decade of experience running fitness facilities and climbing gyms. She writes candidly (and with a healthy dose of profanity) about what leadership actually looks like from the front lines. When she's not dealing with buttholes-literal or figurative-she's writing, climbing, or side-eyeing corporate nonsense from her home in Chicago.

Reviews for The Shitty Truth About Management: Lessons in Leadership, Logistics, and Absolute Absurdity

""A brutally honest, laugh-out-loud survival guide for anyone managing people in today's chaotic work culture."" - Advance reader review ""Finally-a leadership book that actually tells the truth."" - Early reader feedback ""Hilarious, sharp, and refreshingly unfiltered-but not for the faint of corporate heart. Nikki's debut book is a punchy, profanity-laced whirlwind through the underbelly of management. It reads like if The Office were rebooted by a trauma-hardened millennial with a master's degree and no patience for toxic bosses. The writing is equal parts cathartic and chaotic, in the best way."" - Advance reader review
