Forget Tom Peters and all those management gurus. The Margin's Management Book of 1997 was undoubtedly the pithily titled Double Your Salary, Bonk Your Boss, Go Home Early, by Guardian columist Guy Browning.

Among the Margin's favourites were its "great interview questions for cutting interview candidates down to size". These included "What's the capital of Bolivia?", "If you're so brilliant why haven't you got a decent job already?" and, "How would you rightsize a matrix management structure while implementing TQM from an empowered shareholder base."

It also has a most useful guide to management jargon. For example "profitable growth" translates into "a car-park like the Geneva Motorshow," while "teamwork" reads as "the buck goes round in circles" and, the Margin's favourite, "market leaders", which translates to "our reps have faster Mondeos than your reps".
