Dominant, direct leaders who don't get emotional get the job done, right? Take charge and cut to the chase, right? Other people who allow their emotions to get in the way of business need to just "Suck it up." Right? Wrong! Suck It Up, Buttercup. You might be part of the problem.
This short management book covers topics ranging from personality styles (how some personality styles rub people the wrong way) to communication (which almost always goes wrong) and lack of common sense ( which is actually a set of learned skills, put your judgment away). Chapter 10 is an "Acting Lesson" that challenges you to change (but only for 15 minutes a day). This thought-provoking book emphasizes that you must shut up and listen in order to be a leader people will follow. Also, check out Wendy's second book, "The Asshole Whisperer" Learn how to create company values (check those employee attitudes at the door), provide feedback (that will affect real change), and understand personality traits (introverts are people too!) in order to deal with crappy leaders and jerks at work.
