Book excerpt: Are You Clueless? shows leaders in business and government how to attract customers, profits, and talent in a diverse and globally-connected workplace. Tom Finn, consultant to leading companies and agencies internationally, uses actual customer stories to show how organizations lose diverse customers and top employees - often without knowing! Witness "The Bank for White People," "A Restaurant for Men," "Oh, My God, You're a Completely Different Person," and other bizarre ways organizations miss out on and alienate their lifeblood: customers and employees. With 7 Clues, Tom shows there are patterns leaders can use that cut across all "cultural" differences, be they gender, language, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality - even two company cultures slapped together in a merger. This is a book for leaders at the front line of the myriad differences in our workplace, whether global or local. Are You Clueless? gives them simple guidelines they can use every day.The final segment covers common cultural dilemmas that arise in any organization. The author applies the seven Clues to solve each scenario.This book maintains that we are all a bit clueless about those different from us. Women have called men clueless for years. But cultural cluelessness limits your business growth if you don't know how diverse customers see your company. It stifles your employee motivation if employees decide they can't speak up because their manager "won't get it."Are You Clueless? gives you cultural radar. That radar, in a globally-connected world, is the ticket to profit, productivity, and partnership.

Book excerpt: If you’re stressed and unhappy because of problems with a boss or colleague, you pay a price. Not only can your mental and physical health suffer, your nearest and dearest get sick of hearing about it. Going to bed angry and waking up only to dread a new workday is a terrible way to live. Remote work may have lessened the impact of annoying colleagues for a while, but they can still find ways to irritate. If you’re co-located, the “mute” and “stop video” buttons don’t exist to diminish your exasperation. Not all jerks are the same; the person you find to be a nightmare may be perfectly acceptable to others. And, astonishingly, someone else may even think you’re the jerk! Author Louise Carnachan has the credentials and experience to make her an expert in this area, but more importantly, she’s been in the trenches herself. With an emphasis on the positive actions you can take while being attentive to your specific situation, Work Jerks provides practical advice on how to deal with a variety of problematic coworkers—whether in-person or remotely—so work can stop being something you dread and start being something you enjoy.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.

Download or read book The Way We Work written by Peter Scheckner and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way We Work reveals that a seismic change has occurred in the workplace since the appearance in 1974 of Studs Terkel's Working. Terkel's subjects, despite their alienation, had a sense of themselves as workers and felt that in the workplace they were part of a community.The people Terkel interviewed were highly class conscious in a way that today seems radical and even anachronistic. By contrast, while some of the narrators in The Way We Work feel passionate about their work, others are barely conscious that they are "workers." In transit from one job to another, some workers find it hard to take either their co-workers or their job situation too much to heart. One pronoun rarely used by the narrators of the works in this anthology is "we." Each of the 43 pieces in The Way We Work represents a voice that is idiosyncratic, ironic, or humorous. Alongside such acclaimed writers as Tom Wolfe, Rick Bass, Barbara Garson, Ha Jin, Charles Bowden, Erica Funkhouser, Allan Gurganus, Catherine Anderson, Philip Levine, Edward Conlon, and Mona Simpson, appear the narratives of little-known writers. No other collection of writings about contemporary work in this country showcases the personal accounts of employees from a creative, literary perspective. These writings address such current issues as the effects of globalization, sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and the weakening of unions, as well as a general sense of worker disengagement in the workplace. Speaking in multiple genres, the men and women whose voices are collected here run the whole gamut of the workplace. From an executive at an office products company to a migrant fruit picker to a stripper to a doctor to a cleaner of garbage trucks, The Way We Work captures, with passion and honesty, the experiences of a myriad of workers.
