Why Good People Behave Badly at Work: And what you can do about it
Choose options
Do you upset people despite your good intentions?
Do you become irritable under pressure?
Do you put others' needs before your own?
Do you hate taking unpopular decisions?
Do you work with someone who never engages with the team?
Does your line manager forget to offer people positive feedback?
If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, you are not alone!
In Why Good People Behave Badly at Work, executive coach Dr Catherine Sandler offers a compelling way to understand what happens when individuals at work are triggered - often in the blink of an eye - into shifting from their most effective to their most dysfunctional selves.
You have probably heard of Fight, Flight and Freeze. Perhaps you fall into one of these patterns?
In this highly accessible book, Dr Sandler introduces the reader to her renowned profile framework, which is normally only available to senior executives. Learn to identify your own habitual patterns of behaviour and which animal type fits you and your colleagues.
The Tiger (Fight)
The Dolphin (Flight)
The Owl (Freeze)
Packed with stories, case studies and practical tips, this book will help you overcome your blind spots, and recognise and maximise your strengths.
Working out if you are a Tiger, Dolphin, Owl will help you manage your stress and improve your ability to understand and handle the challenging behaviour of others.
