No matter a person s seniority in the office, everyone knows  people who suck. What is less known is what to do about them? <BR><P> The 10 People Who Suck, written by Ryan Powers and Michael Wissot, resonates with anyone from the first-year employee dealing with unfamiliar surroundings to the veteran manager seeking a reenergized career to the executive searching for ideas to optimize performance and productivity among employees. The 10 People Who Suck provides specific and practical solutions to get the very best out of others in the workplace, as well as oneself, regardless of the differing goals at hand. <BR><P> The ten office personalities featured in this book are The Slacker, The Pessimist, The Spotlight Hog, The Controller, The Out of Toucher, The Gossiper, The Dictator, The Coward, The Hypocrite and The Buzz Killer. <BR><P> Contrary to most business books of its genre, The 10 People Who Suck accomplishes far more than assigning blame to office misfits. Powers and Wissot actually contend that most problematic employees and managers are not beyond help and provide unique communication techniques to engage them. <BR><P>  Employees and managers who  suck are not without ability or value to their organizations, Powers said.  In many cases, they are some of the best producers. Wissot added,  We re addressing how to improve communication with the people who are not only likely to remain with the organization, but who probably should remain with the organization. <BR><P> The authors advocate for a conflict-resolution technique called "corporate triangulation," a spin-off concept from former White House adviser Dick Morris, who used triangulation during Bill Clinton's presidency. Powers and Wissot write,  The art of successful triangulation is reaching a solution that benefits both you and your alleged opponent(s) without compromising your principles. <BR><P> The 10 People Who Suck ($22.95 retail price) can be ordered online at 10PeopleWhoSuck.com, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or any other major bookstore outlet online. <BR><P> About The Authors <BR><P> Ryan Powers and Michael Wissot are managing general partners of SymAction Communications, a corporate and political communications firm, specializing in marketing, public relations, market research, sales training, organizational communication and political strategy. <BR><P> Contact: editor(at)cityhallpublishing.com Book Statistics Title: 10 People Who Suck <BR><P> Subtitle: A Positive Prescription for Improving Communication in the Workplace <BR><P> Authors: Ryan Powers and Michael Wissot <BR><P> Publisher: City Hall Publishing <BR><P> ISBN: 978-0-9799783-0-2 <BR><P> Category: Business / Self-Help <BR><P> Length: 208 pages <BR><P> Retail price: $22.95 <BR><P> Binding: 6 x 9 trade paperback <BR><P> Illustrations: Leslie Weinberg & Landon Phillips <BR><P> SOURCE: City Hall Publishing </FONT> <BR><HR><BR><P> <FONT FACE="Helvetica,arial" SIZE=1 COLOR="#000000">All materials published on this Web Site are provided "as is" without warranty or conditions of any kind, either expressed or implied.
