Book excerpt: Unlike other career books, this book offers managers a team-focused approach to neutralizing a not-so-pleasant—or productive—working atmosphere. Instead of isolating the one problem employee, relevant teams are considered as part of the solution. The result? Solutions stick and there's less likelihood of the bad apple ruining the bunch. Complete with situational advice and case studies taken straight from the trenches, this simple and straightforward guide teaches managers how to: Calm down combatants Motivate wasters Silence gossips De-arm backstabbers Convince passive-aggressives to open up Teach narcissists the importance of the team This book helps managers decide what the right course of action is—whether it means chastising negative behavior, encouraging positive outlooks, separating certain folks, creating teams for success, giving employees warnings, and/or firing the ones who are pretty much rotten through and through. This book is essential reading for any manager looking to ensure a pleasant, productive—and fruitful—work environment.

Book excerpt: Healthcare executives must keep their problem employees in line (and keep turnover to a minimum) or fire them without incurring legal consequences. Yet, it is difficult to know how to bring problem employees back into line and to minimize and contain the damage they do. Many healthcare executives find the task to be a challenging, time-consuming, and vexing test of their leadership ability and patience. The Problem Employee presents complete, clear, how-to-do-it strategies for managing problem employees and delves into 17 of the most challenging and diabolical problem employees that healthcare leaders are likely to encounter. This is the book healthcare executives will need whether they find themselves supervising a toxic, untrustworthy, pessimistic, burned out, lazy, overworked, cliquish, or childish employee -- or whether they manage a prima donna, a drama queen, a bully, a gossip, or even a slob. What this book will do for you: Provide an at-your-fingertips ready resource that you can use today and tomorrow. Read individual chapters right away to help you manage your current problem employee. But also use this book as a career-long on-the-shelf reference that you can return to again and again as you (or one of your direct reports) encounter new and different types of problem employees. Teach you a tailored approach to managing the most common types of problem employees. There is no one-size-fits-all cookie cutter strategy that will work with every problem employee. This book takes a deep dive into 17 different types of problem employees. You'll learn what's behind each problem employee's unique behavior -- why a gossip gossips, a bully bullies, a prima donna is a prima donna, and a drama queen is a drama queen. Most importantly, you'll learn how to tailor your management strategy according to each problem employee's needs. Boost your confidence. Managing problem employees is a difficult, sometimes confusing, and often lonely task. The Problem Employee will help you to feel more confident because you will know what to do (and not do), when to do it, and how to do it, step-by-step. As well, each chapter includes a bonus feature that will give you examples of policies, helpful tips to share with your employees, or lessons about the variations in problem employees that often crop up.
