Offers step-by-step expert advice that empowers women to understand
and overcome the conflicts they face at work with coworkers and
managers. Are you being harassed? Micromanaged? Or just plain
annoyed by your gum-chewing, music-playing, lunch-stealing
coworker? Are you ready to blow this popsicle stand and move on to
a new job? Then let this book guide you through this process.
Beginning with 15 common workplace personalities that you have
likely encountered, this book helps you to diagnose your situation,
and provides empowering strategies for dealing with this situation
and preventing future disputes. Based on the latest research in the
dispute resolution field, and decades of workplace mediation
experience, these stories are based on real-life examples (though
names have been changed to protect those who should be ashamed of
themselves). Women are finally being given the training and
opportunities to succeed in the workplace, but societal norms are
still in the stone-age. This book offers concrete suggestions for
women to determine their boundaries and strategies for reinforcing
those boundaries. Women shouldn’t have to choose between being a
baby or a bully. Women have amazing empathic and social skills—so
why not build on those skills, armed with years of research and
ideas, to create the career you have worked for? Perhaps it’s not
just one mansplainer, or one frustrating coworker, but a whole
department? Managerial style? Systemic issues? A toxic workplace
that is in need of some major rebranding? This book is aimed at the
frustrated employee, manager, conflict resolution practitioner, and
HR office. There are simple skills to empower any employee. For the
management team, learn how to design an effective training,
identify red flags, triage employee concerns, and build a healthy
workplace. As impossible as that may sound right now, it actually
is achievable with some practical suggestions and a bit of work. So
buckle up, grab some popcorn, and prepare for some great stories
that will help you to take control of your worklife. This is a
light-hearted guide for the heavy-hearted employee. This is the
only book to take decades of conflict research and workplace
examples and brings them to the hands of those who need this
information: the workers going through difficult conflicts. The
purpose of this book is to empower women in a frustrating office to
not just understand the conflict but give them the tools to grow
through it. This book takes the numerous academic studies about
resolving workplace conflict, as well as experience from the
mediation table, and provides a step-by-step guide for employees to
resolve their own conflict. It is designed to be relatable, drawing
upon numerous personalities, real examples, in a variety of
settings, so that the reader can find comfort in knowing that
others have worked through similar situations. The book is also
humorous, to help ease the anxiety of a tense worker. The goal is
to give the average employee the skills to understand and grow
through their current workplace conflict. 15 frustrating workplace
personalities and situations are described, and then examined from
the female viewpoint or response.
