So many offices have a boss who seems to find pleasure in humiliating workers or a manipulating employee who sabotages coworkers behind their backs. These kinds of people come in many disguises (there's the business psychopath, the perfectionist, etc.) and can make working difficult and frustrating. Psychology writer David L. Weiner has penned Power Freaks: Dealing with Them in the Workplace or Anyplace, an analysis of why people act this way, how to recognize them and how to develop a strategy for getting along with them. He also includes a quiz to help readers assess their own instinctual drive for power.

Product Description
Are there 'power-crazed, difficult people' in your life? A boss who appears to find pleasure in browbeating and humiliating you, a co-worker who tries to manipulate or sabotage you behind your back, or maybe even a family member who constantly exalts his or her accomplishments while giving you credit for nothing and making you feel worthless? Best-selling psychology author David L. Weiner reveals the personalities behind the facades of 'power freaks'. In a competitive world, increasingly dominated by intense corporate cultures, this brilliant study in organisational psychology will help you swim safely through shark-infested waters.
