<br/><br/> Why is good leadership so rare? Everyone has to manage up <br/>       to some extent but frankly some bosses are worse than <br/>       others. If you're being driven crazy by a micro-manager, <br/>       frequently drown under your boss's unreasonable <br/>       expectations, or struggle with being handed out <br/>       responsibilities but no authority, then international <br/>       behavioural expert Thomas Erikson is here to help. Drawing<br/>       on the simple four-colour system that made "Surrounded by <br/>       Idiots" a global bestseller, Erikson shows how <br/>       understanding your boss's behavioural tendencies as well <br/>       as your own will lead to a more harmonious and productive <br/>       workplace. He also sets out what characterises an <br/>       exemplary leader type and how you can adapt your behaviour<br/>       to model it. Because there are two sides to every coin, <br/>       Erikson also looks at employees themselves and why some <br/>       colleagues frequently underachieve and what you can do to <br/>       change this. Written with Erikson's signature humour and <br/>       warmth, Surrounded by Bad Bosses (and Lazy Employees) will<br/>       help you deal with the most hopeless managers and <br/>       employees you can imagine - and keep you entertained along<br/>       the way.
