Sooo, this is an all right book, it does gives some solid advice. It also reads as a self-knowledge book for those who are more conscious about themselves, one can see if he belongs in any of those groups of problem people. But ofc this is for dealing with others mainly, and some of the stuff can help outside work as well.
Also it has a neger character named Tyrone.
The book lists great many archetypes of annoying coworkers, so I won't bother with that, but will list the main groups which are also chapter titles:
1. hostile or angry
2. pushy or presumptuous
3. deceitful or underhanded
4. shrewd or manipulative
5. rude or abrasive
6. egotistical or self-centered
7. procrastinating or vacillating
8. rigid or obstinate
9. tight-lipped or uncommunicative
10. complaining or critical
From this last one am gonna copypaste here the first paragraph:
We expect others to be thick-skinned while our own egos are as fragile as eggshells. If I give you my unsolicited opinion, it’s to help you improve. If you give me your unasked-for advice, you’re criticizing me. Giving and receiving top-notch criticism is an exceedingly delicate art.
Yeah, this is true in general on other fields of life.
