Working Successfully with Screwed-Up People
Let's face it. Some people just don't listen, don't care, and aren't willing to compromise. And you probably work with some of them. The incomprehensible supervisor. The person in the next office who chats more than works. The customer who, by the way, isn't always right. For all those co-workers who drive you crazy, there's a solution.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Sometimes people are difficult to get along with, and especially in the workplace. And its just because we are all so very different, and come from different backgrounds. In her book, “Working Successfully with Screwed-Up People, Dr. Elizabeth Brown deals with this issue in detail, helping us all work to get along better with people we work with.
I wish I had read this book while I was still employed at the Medical Clinic I worded for. Working in a payroll office that emp...more

Whether you are in the workplace, work from home, stay at home, whatever the situation, the truth is that we are going to meet, deal and have to work with people who we may find to be frustrating or as part of the title goes, seems just way out there, that they challenge our patience and nerves.

Absolutely positively a must read for me. I borrowed the audiobook and realized that I NEEDED this book on my shelf for frequent reference. Elizabeth Brown starts out recognizing that in real life there are just some crazy people. Crazy people make me crazy. Elizabeth takes the time to give concrete examples of crazy. She shows you when, no matter what you do, you won't be able to change the person. And then explains how you can handle it...realistically. When a person is unwilling, or unable, t...more
I always enjoy reading about personality types, character traits and how to get along with people who are different from me so this book held my interest, because it focused on how to improve relationships in the workplace.
In the appendix, there is a section called The Personality Zoo, which breaks down ten personality types and their traits. I found this very informative and helpful. According to the author, knowing your personality traits is a huge key in being able to get along well with othe...more

I enjoyed this book, and it provides some good insights into myself and the people I work with. I know that a book is really good when I journal about it, as I did with is book. My thanks to Ms Brown for writing this book and sharing her insights and experiences.
This book had a lot of fluff and very little substance.
Even though I read the chapters, all I really needed to do was read the "insights" at the end of the chapter. Most of the book was blabbering, non-relevant examples and then a sentence on what to do without anything to back it up. If you're going to state why I should do something, tell me the benefits of doing so.
I did enjoy chapters 10 and 11 and I thought the book was picking up, but I was wrong.
