Puttin' Cologne on the Rickshaw

This book is dedicated to understanding and combating the proliferation of rude and uncivil behaviour in our society and especially the workplace. It analyses the myriad games people play and how they lead to the downright evil cultures present in todays modern dysfunctional workplaces. It analyses the ranks of the sociopaths and sycophants that populate the average workplace and the back-stabbing methods they use to better their careers at the expense of yours. It also takes aim and investigates the most onerous behaviour of them all -- bullying in all its forms. It exposes the management and leadership abyss and the problems of organisational amnesia, plausible deniability, blame-storming, and fear of surprise, and how they all infect and poison the workplace culture. It lampoons the infamous performance review and pay-for-performance processes. It provides sage advice on how to survive the modern workplace and become a true leader in spite of what goes on around you.
