Drama-Free Office A Guide to Healthy Collaboration With Your Team, Coworkers & Boss

Learn proven, field-tested techniques to manage disruptive, drama-causing subordinates, peers, and bosses to dramatically improve productivity and boost the bottom line. This book describes four energy-draining personalities that sabotage workplace collaboration and synergy. The authors blend humorous and relatable case studies with proven tools for managing "office saboteurs" -- subordinates, co-workers, and the boss. The authors' research draws on years of experience working with more than 2,500 CEOs and their executive teams, combined with their own father-daughter dynamic. They break down the four major drama roles -- the complainer, the cynic, the caretaker, and the controller -- and lay out a detailed roadmap for managing difficult people in difficult situations. Readers will see their co-workers (and themselves) in this entertaining and action- oriented blueprint for addressing the dramatic behaviours that cripple so many teams. The authors detail simple methods for defusing office drama and fostering clean, authentic interactions. This book puts an end to office drama for good!
