Can AI Find Leadership Wisdom? Paul Klotman’s The Book of Management Finds Plenty of Advice and Very Little That Is Useful

"New leadership satire uses artificial intelligence to expose contradictory management advice and argues for clearer decisions, practical judgment, and accountability" Houston, TX - November 9, 2026 - The Book of Management : Discovered Under a Tree in Texas, a new leadership satire by Paul Klotman, examines how polished management language can obscure decisions, responsibility, and useful direction. Written in collaboration with artificial intelligence, the book pairs exaggerated executive advice with practical “Reality Checks” grounded in Klotman’s fifty years in academic medicine. kA DEJ=6lQE6IE\2=:8?i ;FDE:7JjQmz=@E>2? 3C:?8D 7:7EJ J62CD :? 24256>:4 >65:4:?6 2?5 6IA6C:6?46 96=A:?8 :?DE:EFE:@?D ?2G:82E6 9@DA:E2= 7:C6D[ 7=@@5D[ 9FCC:42?6D[ 3=24<@FED[ 7:?2?4:2= 4C:D6D[ h^``[ 2?5 2 8=@32= A2?56>:4] %9@D6 6IA6C:6?46D E2F89E 9:> E92E F?56C AC6DDFC6[ =6256CD 5@ ?@E ?665 8C2?56C =2?8F286] %96J ?665 ;F58>6?E[ 4=2C:EJ[ 2?5 244@F?E23:=:EJ]k^Am kA DEJ=6lQE6IE\2=:8?i ;FDE:7JjQm(96? 7C:6?5D 6?4@FC2865 9:> E@ HC:E6 2 >2?286>6?E 3@@<[ z=@E>2? 49@D6 2?
