This is a nitty-gritty, witty and concise book for anyone who is fed up with another person in any kind of work situation. This is a field guide for everyday people in the trenches at all levels of business who need to understand the underlying reasons for difficult people, manage those difficulties, work productively with a diverse work force, and transform work misery into productivity. It shows readers how to get results--even from people they can't stand, put themselves in someone else's shoes, stand up for themselves as appropriate, and more importantly, control their temper.
