A Definite Must Own!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Gary Topchik discusses concrete issues and resolutions. There are no ambiguous situations. He makes you think for yourself and helps you develop your problem solving skills. He thinks "out of the box" and leads you to do the same. You begin to realize that some situations which you believed benign, are really negative. It is a definite must own!
Just the book I needed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Just the book I've been waiting for! It helped me to clear the air and improve relations between colleagues in my own department. The results were so dramatic that the book is now making the rounds among department heads in my company. Mr. Topchik's strategies enabled me to confront longstanding negativity on the part of several subordinates - with outstanding results, including improved morale and productivity . It even enabled me to recognize some of my own counterproductive behavior. I found the book intelligent, well-written, practical and chockfull of tools to improve workplace attitudes. I highly recommend this book to virtually everyone in the workplace.
A Hands-On, Real World Guide for Managers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Managing Workplace Negativity is a practical, no-nonsense guide for managers in all industries. The book provides case studies and clearcut strategies for managers coping with a variety of counterproductive behaviors in others. Topchik distinguishes among individuals who use defeatist behavior habitually, those who use it to score specific points, and those who reflect valid organizational morale issues. Hands-on approaches are presented to the complex, ambiguous issues of trust, change and organizational culture. I highly recommend this excellent resource for anyone seeking concrete answers to this difficult subject.
