Review: This was a very timely book and I highly recommend it to anyone working or thinking about working in a Customer Service Related field. Retail sales or careers are very very difficult and I believe it takes a special type of person to be successful. IF you do not have the ability to work with customers from all walks of life, then I highly recommend you choose a different occupation. 95% of the people you work with are good people, the remaining 5% is where this book will help you. I recommend you buy the book, read it and keep it handy to refer to at least once every six months. Review: This is a book of advice for people in any workplace who struggle coping with other people at times, whether it is coworkers, supervisors or clients. The book is divided into different chapters for easy access if the reader wants to jump to a certain situation, for example ‘dealing with difficult clients’. The book is full of real life situations that have either happened to the author, or common situations that happen day to day. The author gives advice on how to calmly handle situations in a professional manner and also improve people skills by giving prompts on how to say certain things. Different situations are going to arise in any workplace and everyone will deal with a difficult person at some point in their career and therefore this book helps to prepare us to deal with these situations or if a situation does arise this will help deal with the present situation. Some of the advice in the book is fairly obvious and other pieces of advice I would personally not take on board. For example the chapter covering dealing with difficult subordinates the author recommends that once made a supervisor, supervisors should not socialize with subordinates. Personally, I think advice can be argued that a lot of people would go on to lose respect for the person that may have previously been considered a friend, I know I would. So some pieces of advice should probably be taken with a pinch of salt, but a lot of it is good to keep in mind to resolve some workplace issues. I do recommend this book to others, not just for people who are having current issues with difficult people but for anyone at work. The book can help in situations that may arise in the future and equip the reader with prompts and other advice in a number of different situations. It is suitable for all audiences and is an easy read, even for those who don’t read books. It has many different examples that most people will relate to and engages the reader with small activities to carry out. I believe that the book on the whole is convincing and that although there is no empirical research to support the advice given, it is believable and most people can relate to the given situations. Some of the advice in the book may not suit everybody and body language and tone of voice can alter the intentions of some of the comments. However, common sense and following the author’s advice, I believe, will help most deal with difficult people.
