"Managing Difficult Employees" is the culminating book of Dr. Joseph Koob's WORK TRILOGY, which includes "Succeeding with Difficult Coworkers" and "Succeeding with Difficult Bosses." Managers/Leaders face difficult situations with DIFFICULT people. YOU can make a difference!Empower yourself as a leader by developing the knowledge and skills to develop the best team you can. It is about Integrity, Respect for Others, Knowledge of Self, and more than anything, Understanding and Caring about your team members. This book addresses what you can do as a leader to create a work environment that fosters positive personnel development -- ideally preventing difficulties arising with your employees in the first place. AND, What you need to know and do to deal with concerns that do arise. This book gives you the knowledge, skills, and tools to lead effectively in difficult circumstances. It will help you develop a positive work environment that supports your team members so that fewer concerns arise, and it will provide a foundation for you to deal successfully with difficulties that do occur. Be a leader of people; not just a manager going through the motions. It is your choice. Then you will have a team that you can be proud of, and you will have people who are proud to have you as a leader.
