Adams werkte in verschillende rollen bij grote bedrijven voordat hij in fulltime cartoonist werd. Hij schrijft op een satirische , vaak sarcastische manier over het sociale en psychologische landschap van bedienden in moderne zakenbedrijven. Hij was een fan van de Peanuts- strips toen hij opgroeide, en begon zijn eigen strips te tekenen op 6-jarige leeftijd. Hij won een tekenwedstrijd op jarige leeftijd. Adams studeerde af als afscheidsmedewerker aan de Windham-Ashland-Jewett Central School in in een klas van Hij bleef in het gebied en behaalde een BA in economie aan Hartwick College in Hij verhuisde een paar maanden na zijn afstuderen naar Californië. Adams werkte tussen en nauw samen met telecommunicatie-ingenieurs bij Crocker National Bank in San Francisco. Toen hij bij de organisatie kwam, ging hij naar een managementtrainingsprogramma nadat hij in vier maanden tijd twee keer onder schot werd gehouden als teller. In de loop der jaren was hij onder meer management-trainee, computerprogrammeur , budgetanalist, commerciële geldschieter, productmanager en supervisor. Cartoons bleek de succesvolle onderneming te zijn van de velen die hij in deze uren probeerde, en Adams creëerde Dilbert tijdens deze periode van persoonlijke verkenning; de naam kwam van ex-baas Mike Goodwin. Dogbert, oorspronkelijk Dildog genoemd, was losjes gebaseerd op de overleden beagle van zijn familie, Lucy. Inzendingen voor verschillende publicaties van zowel Dilbert- als niet- Dilbert-strippanels wonnen geen publicatie. Deze omvatten The New Yorker en Playboy. Een inspirerende brief van een fan overtuigde Adams echter om het te blijven proberen. Hij werkte tussen en juni bij Pacific Bell ; de persoonlijkheden die hij daar ontmoette, werden de inspiratie voor veel van zijn Dilbert- personages. Adams publiceerde Dilbert voor het eerst bij United Media in , terwijl hij nog steeds in dienst was bij Pacific Bell. Hij bleef om 4 uur 's ochtends zijn cartoons tekenen, waarbij hij zijn inkomen op peil hield. Geleidelijk aan werd Dilbert populairder en werd in door kranten gepubliceerd en in Adams schrijft zijn succes toe aan zijn idee om zijn e-mailadres in de panelen op te nemen, waardoor de lezers feedback konden krijgen. Adams succes groeide en hij werd een fulltime cartoonist bij Dilbert in kranten. In werd zijn eerste zakenboek , The Dilbert Principle , uitgebracht, waarin hij zijn concept van het Dilbert-principe uiteenzette. Logitech CEO Pierluigi Zappacosta nodigde Adams uit om zich voor te doen als managementconsultant, wat hij deed met een pruik en valse snor. Hij verleidde Logitech-managers tot het aannemen van een missie die Adams omschreef als "zo onmogelijk gecompliceerd dat het helemaal geen echte inhoud heeft". Eindelijk kreeg ik het telefoontje. Ik leg gewoon de lat voor wat het juiste moment zou zijn, en zeg tegen mezelf hoe lekker het zal zijn als ik ooit iets speciaals in mijn werk doe. Blijkbaar is het ding in mij dat me zo hard laat werken hetzelfde dat me ontevreden houdt. In begon Dilbert als een tv-serie, maar werd in geannuleerd, maar niet voordat hij in een Primetime Emmy Award won. In verscheen de strip in kranten in 57 landen en 19 talen. Op 29 juni vertelde Adams zijn volgers op Twitter dat Dilbert was geannuleerd omdat hij blank was en dat het netwerk van de show, UPN , een beslissing had genomen om over te schakelen naar Afro-Amerikaanse kijkers, en dat hij in zijn carrière had verloren twee andere banen vanwege zijn raciale achtergrond. Adams was een fan van de sciencefiction-tv-serie Babylon 5 , en hij verscheen in de aflevering ' Moments of Transition ' van seizoen 4 als een personage genaamd 'Mr. Adams', die voormalig hoofd van de beveiliging Michael Garibaldi inhuurt om zijn megalomane hond en kat te lokaliseren. Hij had ook een cameo in " Review ", een aflevering van het derde seizoen van de tv-serie NewsRadio , waarin Matthew Brock gespeeld door Andy Dick een geobsedeerde Dilbert- fan wordt. Adams wordt gecrediteerd als "Guy in line achter Dave en Joe in eerste scène". Hij verkocht zijn intellectuele eigendom in deze onderneming toen de Dilberito faalde op de markt. Hij was ook een restauranthouder, maar verliet die zaak. Sinds eind lijdt Adams aan focale dystonie , die zijn vermogen om langdurig op papier te tekenen heeft aangetast. Hij tekent nu de strip op een grafisch tablet. Hij leed ook aan krampachtige dysfonie , een aandoening die ervoor zorgt dat de stembanden zich abnormaal gedragen. In juli onderging hij een operatie om de zenuwverbindingen naar zijn stembanden om te leiden, en zijn stem is nu volledig functioneel. Adams is opgeleid als hypnotiseur.

  • Dilbert and Dogbert in the Information Age 79
    DILBERT AND DOGBERT IN THE INFORMATION AGE 79 Dilbert and Dogbert in the Information Age: Productivity, Corporate Culture, and Comic Art Karen Langlois California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In the cartoon strip of the same name, Dilbert, an engineer, contends with the complexities and challenges of technological change and corporate restruc- turing. The cartoon, a satire on modern corporate culture, criticizes the pervasive influence of the business efficiency movement known as Total Quality Management. The issue of productivity in the post-modern age holds particular relevance for educators at a time when institutions of higher learning seek to restructure themselves in the image of the modern corporation. Introduction In the past decade the cartoon strip Dilbert has become a phenomenon of popular culture. Created by cartoonist Scott Adams, it has become the fastest growing comic strip in America. Dilbert, the cartoon’s protagonist, is a naive, introverted engineer, toiling in the wasteland of American bureaucracy. His sardonic pet, Dogbert, is employed as a part-time management consultant. For the modern employee Dilbert and Dogbert have achieved the status of cultural icons. Confronted with the information revolution of the nineties, a transformation greater in scope than the industrial revolution, these new American (anti)heroes contend with the complexities and challenges of technological change and corporate restructuring. The identification of the public with the plight of the cartoon characters is evidenced by the craze for Dilbert and Dogbert merchandise. In addition to a television show and best selling books, Dilbert mania has created a market for Dilbert and Dogbert apparel, desk art, and dolls.

  • Affirmations
    Affirmations Several years ago, in the closing pages of my otherwise humorous book titled The Dilbert Future, I told a weird little tale of how I used a technique called affirmations in my attempts to achieve a number of unlikely goals. Since then, I’ve received more questions on that topic than on anything else I’ve ever written. So I know this will pin the needle on the blog comments. The idea behind affirmations is that you simply write down your goals 15 times a day and somehow, as if by magic, coincidences start to build until you achieve your objective against all odds. An affirmation is a simple sentence such as “I Scott Adams will become a syndicated cartoonist.” (That’s one I actually used.) Prior to my Dilbert success, I used affirmations on a string of hugely unlikely goals that all materialized in ways that seemed miraculous. Some of the successes you can explain away by assuming I’m hugely talented and incredibly sexy, and therefore it is no surprise that I accomplished my goals despite seemingly long odds. I won’t debate that interpretation because I like the way it sounds. But some of my goals involved neither hard work nor skill of any kind. I succeeded with those too, against all odds. Those are harder to explain, at least for me, since the most common explanation is that they are a delusion. I found my experience with affirmations fascinating and puzzling, and so I wrote about it. At this point, allow me to correct a mistake I made the first time that I described my experience with affirmations.

    We are pleased to acknowledge Scott Adams and HarperBusiness, a division of HarperCollins Publishers, for their permission to use excerpts in this training program from Scott Adams' book, DOGBERT'S TOP SECRET MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK, as told to Scott Adams, author of The Dilbert Principle. DOGBERT'S TOP SECRET MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK. Copyright (c) 1996 by United Feature Syndicate, Inc. Background INTRODUCTION This book will teach you the Dogbert Management Method. All modern managers use this book as their primary guide. When you finish this book you will know what they know: Leadership isn't something you're born with. It's something you learn by reading Dogbert books. WARNING IF YOU ARE NOT A MANAGER, PUT THIS BOOK DOWN RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU'RE BETTER OFF NOT KNOWING. DOGBERT'S TOP SECRET MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK 1. Acting like a manager 1.1 TWO PATHS OF MANAGEMENT In an ideal world, your job as a manager would include setting goals and acquiring the resources to achieve them. But you don't live in an ideal world, largely because there are people like you in it. Since you don't have the authority to establish goals and acquire resources, you are left with only two logical choices: ALTERNATIVE Do nothing. RESULT Get fired for doing nothing. ALTERNATIVE Do irrational and unproductive things. RESULT Get rewarded for being a can-do manager who makes things happen. To make matters worse, you will be expected to spend as much as forty hours every week doing management stuff, regardless of how much management is really needed.

He and I had a very wide ranging conversation. We’ve met before, and we cover things such as his use of affirmations, written affirmations for the stock market, for success with women, for his career as a cartoonist. We talk about hypnosis, why he became interested in hypnosis, common misconceptions about hypnosis, and how he used different techniques or aspects of what he learned to make Dilbert popular.
