Download The Schmuck in My Office: How to Deal Effectively with Difficult People at Work AudioBook Free
Everyone has a "schmuck" in their office - a hard, disruptive person who upsets the workplace, confuses their coworkers, and causes concern. Nobody is safe from a schmuck. They come in many sizes and shapes, such as:
- Narcissus - the self-centered, condescending, attention-seeking peacock who tramples on others
- The Flytrap - the bringer of chaos that can flip from furious to happy in an instant, creating an office maelstrom
- The Bean Counter - the orderly perfectionist who never gives up control even though it's full-steam ahead to disaster
- The Robot - the inflexible rock wall who's incapable of adapting, even when confronted with much-needed change
Sound like anyone you know? These are just a few of the more dominant schmucks. In her new audiobook, Dr. Jody Foster explains the entire spectral range of schmucks and exactly how they can lower efficiency and generally make everybody else unhappy. After delineating the many types of schmucks, she talks about personality features and explains how interactions among coworkers can become maladaptive, resulting in workplace disasters. She helps listeners understand the schmuck as a person, figure out how to help him or her, and effect a positive solution. Dr. Foster also helps listeners understand the most challenging thing of most: Sometimes you are the schmuck. Let Dr. Jody Foster show you how to help the schmuck, know if you are the schmuck, and make your workplace a happy and beneficial one.
