'Ballad: A Manager's Perplexities' is a collection of humorous poems by W.S. Gilbert, best known for his collaborations with Arthur Sullivan on the iconic Savoy Operas. The poems, written in Gilbert's characteristically satirical style, address the various challenges and frustrations faced by managers in a lighthearted and witty manner. Gilbert uses vivid imagery and clever wordplay to paint comical portraits of inept employees, difficult clients, and the inherent complexities of running an organization. The book tackles topics ranging from employee motivation and delegation to dealing with office politics and the ever-present need to maintain a sense of composure amidst chaos. Through his use of humor, Gilbert provides a refreshing and insightful commentary on the often-unseen realities of the managerial world, highlighting the common ground between the challenges of leading people and the enduring human foibles that can make managing people a constant source of both amusement and frustration.
