Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

If you're suffering because of the harmful behaviors of your manager, you're not alone. In this insightful book, Cathy Alfandre exposes the pervasive problem of what she calls "malignant managers," and the devastating effects they can have on the people who work for them. She spotlights seven types of malignant managers, from the overtly abusive to the subtly destructive. Whether they are demeaning, manipulative, credit-stealing, or neglectful, the damage they cause is profound and lasting. Through real-life client stories, the book highlights the mental and physical toll that reporting to a manager like this can take, from blows to self-confidence, paralyzing fear, and deteriorating performance to sleeplessness, illness, and reverberating impacts on the family. Beyond pointing out the issues, the author also packs the book with an array of practical strategies to help you cope, regain confidence, and re-establish your emotional well-being, even if you can't or don't want to leave your job right away. For those ready to leave, the book offers even more specific strategies to navigate a transition with confidence and clarity and avoid landing with another malignant manager in the future. Addressing even knotty challenges, like how to explain why you're leaving your job, these pages provide valuable ideas, tools, and tactics you can use to break free. Cathy Alfandre knows that the process of job and career transition can be daunting, especially for those who have endured years of mistreatment. With an empathetic and steady hand, and with the voices of dozens of clients for further inspiration, she offers support to help loosen the grip of your malignant manager, move forward, and reclaim your career.
