Offers practical, upbeat and professionally sound advice on how to deal with Jerks. In this updated and revised edition of "Jerks At Work", popular columnist, Ken Lloyd, returns to grapple once again with workplace topics and presents his practical, upbeat and professionally sound advice as an antidote. Drawing on e-mails and letters from employees and employers across the world, Lloyd presents numerous examples of some of the most outrageous classic and current workplace misbehaviours - past and present - along with the most powerful strategies that readers can use today to deal effectively with them. There is no single, simple strategy that works on every Jerk. They come in many assorted flavours: your Jerk could be your boss, a coworker, your subordinate, a buyer, even customers. Just when you think you have read about the ultimate jerk at work, up pops another. Fortunately, a tailor-made strategy pops up alongside. "Jerks At Work" provides a wide array of strategies to deal with all the Jerks you come across. There are the time-tested, classical methods for the retro-jerks: the screamers, impractical jokers, egomaniacs, complainers and non-stop talkers.
Then there are new, state-of-the-art strategies to deal with a generation of cyber-jerks, such as bullies, jerks on mobiles and jerks on line. Additionally, a new section, exclusive to this revised edition, covers some of the most outrageous workplace behaviours that one could ever encounter. Inside, you'll also find these other helpful tips: getting insight into the causes of Jerk-like behaviour; step-by-step programmes to deal with Jerks of every persuasion; coping with the most outrageous Jerk behaviour ever documented; the best ways to avoid becoming a Jerk yourself; and much, much more!Ken Lloyd, Ph.D., is a nationally recognized consultant, author, educator, and newspaper columnist based in Encino, California. With specialties in organizational behavior, management training and development, and communication, Dr. Lloyd has consulted in a wide range of industries including healthcare, apparel, financial services, electronics, Internet service provider, and entertainment.
