The stress of dealing with difficult people dampens our creativity and productivity, degrades our ability to think clearly and make sound decisions, and causes us to disengage.In Getting Along, workplace expert and Harvard Business Review podcast host Amy Gallo identifies eight familiar types of difficult coworkers—the insecure boss, the passive-aggressive peer, the know-it-all, the biased coworker, and others—and provides strategies tailored to dealing constructively with each one.

I've tried everything—what now?Full of relatable, sometimes cringe-worthy examples, the latest behavioral science research, and practical advice you can use right now, Getting Along is an indispensable guide to navigating your toughest relationships at work—and building interpersonal resilience in the process.

    Commonly, people have walked out of the interview panel, thinking that they have closed the deal. Aspiring candidates are ready to embark on a festive dinner carrying an element of hope in their eyes that's sure to accompany an imminent offer. However, they are waiting for time immemorial, and there's no call.  
    There is no offense on the part of the interviewee, but it's possibly either something he commented or anything he did: maybe without even realizing it. Job quest can be a long and horrific hill to climb, with a lot of morals and guidelines of the interviews suppressed then and there. It is, therefore, high time to revisit the potential interview errors committed most of the time that some people might be aware of, and a majority of others might have overlooked it. However, when searching for a new career, one should put an end to such pitfalls at all costs.

    How women can make it to the top by dismissing conventional  wisdom and adopting the new rules of leadership  The latest research confirms that women hold just 11% of the  most senior-level leadership positions in U.S. Corporations  today?which shockingly hasn?t changed in over 30 years. The  bottom line, however, is that business is simply better with more  women in it. Thankfully there?s now a real solution to this age-old  problem: Break Your Own Rules distills the six faulty  assumptions (or ?rules?) most women follow that get in the way  of their path to leadership and power ? then delivers the  correlating new rules that promise to clear that path. For  example, the old rule of ?Focus on Others? must be replaced by  ?Take Center Stage,?   ?Hard Work Will Get You There? must  yield to ?Be Politically Savvy.? ?Play It Safe? must give way to  ?Play to Win.? ?Ask Permission? must be replaced by ?Proceed Until  Apprehended.?  And ?Be Modest? must be superseded by ?Project  Personal Power.?  This breakthrough book:  ·         Features  the results of over 1,700 interviews with executives in Fortune  1000 companies, as well as the authors? new research and  ongoing work with over 5,000 professional women  ·         Showcases  previously-untold stories from high profile women including  Ann Moore (CEO, Time Inc.), Susan Ivey (CEO, Reynolds American),  Cathy Bessant (Global Executive for Technology and Operations for  Bank of America),   Lynn Ford (CEO, ING Solutions), and  more  ·         Reveals  what it really takes for any woman to succeed at the highest  levels  This hands-on guide is for women who are ready to transform  their assumptions and join the senior ranks of American business.
