Why Good People Behave Badly at Work

Do you upset people despite good intentions?
Do you become irritable under pressure?
Do you put others' needs before your own?
Do you hate taking unpopular decisions?
Do you avoid social contact at work?

If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, you are not alone!

In Why Good People Behave Badly at Work (and what you can do about it), leading executive coach Dr Catherine Sandler describes how stress at work can shift us, in the blink of an eye, from our most effective to our most dysfunctional selves. Drawing on her popular Emotional Profiles Triangle, she explains the strengths and vulnerabilities of the high-powered Tiger, the empathic Dolphin and the self-contained Owl. When anxiety peaks, they can be triggered into Fight, Flight or Freeze and leave their skilful self behind. Packed with case-studies, interviews and practical tools, this highly accessible book will help you gain powerful insights into your own behaviour and that of others.
