Surrounded by idiots at work? Fed up with a bad boss or lazy colleagues? Thomas Erikson, author of the runaway international bestseller Surrounded by Idiots, will help you handle them and get things done, the right way
Why is good leadership so rare? Everyone has to manage up to some extent but frankly some bosses are worse than others.

Drawing on the simple four-colour system that made Surrounded by Idiots a global bestseller, Erikson shows how understanding your boss’s behavioural tendencies as well as your own will lead to a more harmonious and productive workplace. He also sets out what characterises an exemplary leader type and how you can adapt your behaviour to model it. Because there are two sides to every coin, Erikson also looks at employees themselves and why some colleagues frequently underachieve and what you can do to change this.
Written with Erikson’s signature humour and warmth, Surrounded by Bad Bosses (and Lazy Employees) will help you deal with the most hopeless managers and employees you can imagine – and keep you entertained along the way.

The Art Of Constructing A Second Brain: Dive Into The Proverbial Pool Of Knowledge Management To Better Sort Tedious Information, Manage Your Time, And … Learning And…
You don’t need to pay for a personal assistant. We can help you build one.
We’ve all been there: constantly reminding ourselves not to forget our wallet and keys.
When it’s time to head out, our brain seems to remember everything except those.
But let’s not jump to conclusions and put all the blame on our cognitive abilities.
After all, there’s only so much our brain can remember at a given time.
In fact, according to American psychologist George Armitage Miller’s The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, short-term memory lasts about 15-30 seconds.
And short-term memory can only hold seven pieces of information.
In times like these, we all wish we could afford a personal assistant to remember all the minute details of our day-to-day endeavors.
What if we told you that you could build your very own personal assistant, intricately designed just for you, at a low cost?
This book is an all-encompassing self-help guide that helps you get there by laying out all the nitty-gritty of building a second brain—an efficient and effective knowledge management system.
According to the Technology Services Industry Association, over 70% of companies predict a 20% increase in productivity as a result of effective knowledge management.
That’s not to say that knowledge management is only suitable for big corporations.
Truth be told, if you’ve been creating a checklist on your phone’s inbuilt notes app or a sticky note on your fridge, you already have a knowledge management system in place.
We’re here to show you how you can utilize tools already at your disposal to refine your approach to knowledge management into a brilliantly polished gem.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll discover inside the book:
- Google’s simple yet effective goal-setting methodology (that you can apply to your personal life!)
- How to use gaming elements to turn your plans into epic adventures (reaching your goals doesn’t need to be boring)
- How Netflix uses its intricate knowledge management system to keep you satisfied (AND save the company about $1 billion a year!)
- Four free and easy-to-use note-taking apps to elevate your knowledge management system (you can use any or all based on your needs)
- How to keep a knowledge management system alive without killing off traditional physical sources of information in the digital age
- The one extremely common thing that can lead to increased unhappiness, a negative work environment, and decreased productivity and creativity
- A brilliant CODE for effective and efficient note-taking and organization
- Why you shouldn’t create a rigid knowledge management system—employ a mix of these six flexible elements instead
…and much, much more!
We’ve come across numerous books on knowledge management that teach the power of organization. But much to our surprise, they are filled with tenuous technical jargon and rigid systems.
While other books lack certain credibility, focus, and organization, this book makes up for all of it—tenfold.
It doesn’t simply present you with a rigid system to follow mindlessly; this book presents a myriad of possible solutions for readers from all walks of life.
Whether you’re a teacher, student, CEO, remote employee, parent, or homemaker, this interactive book will help you create a system designed for your specific needs.

His writing makes consulting easily accessible for anyone who wishes to deliver their particular expertise into a client organisation.’ Cynthia Pexton-Shaw, Elevation Learning
‘A book that gets to multiple editions is clearly a classic of its sector. Calvert’s is in its seventh and will probably go on to many more. It achieves a threefold feat: of being useful to the expert and to the recently qualified and to the student. Even those of us who have spent decades in this profession need a consultancy bible to refer to. Calvert shows how to be rigorous and systematic, but the book is packed with practical advice from one who is both an academic expert and a senior practising consultant. This is both The Art and The Science of Consultancy.’ Ian Watson – Immediate Past Chair ICMCI

The Challenger Customer: Selling to the Hidden Influencer Who Can Multiply Your Results
From the authors of the internationally-bestselling business classic The Challenger Sale
‘A handbook of practices that will help you get into your customers’ heads, deliver good value, and win the sale’ Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell is Human and Drive
—————————————————————
In The Challenger Sale, Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson overturned decades of conventional wisdom with a bold new approach to sales. Now they reveal something even more surprising: the highest-performing sales teams don’t focus on friendly, attentive customers. Instead, they target challenger customers.
Challenger customers are sceptical, less interested in meeting and ultimately indifferent as to who wins the deal. But they also have the credibility, persuasive skill and will to challenge the status quo that will get a deal to the finish line far more often than customers who are easier to connect with.
Based on new research from thousands of B2B marketers, sellers and buyers around the world, The Challenger Customer shows you how to find these ‘mobilizers’ and equip them with the tools to effectively challenge their own organizations on your behalf. This ground-breaking book is the blueprint you need to make the sale again and again.

The Disease To Please: Curing the People-Pleasing Syndrome (NTC SELF-HELP)
What’s wrong with being a “people pleaser?” Plenty!
“A fascinating book… If you struggle with where, when, and how to draw the line between your own desires and the demands of others, buy this book!”Kay Redfield Jamison, bestselling author of An Unquiet Mind and Night Falls Fast
People pleasers are not just nice people who go overboard trying to make everyone happy. Those who suffer from the Disease to Please are people who say “Yes” when they really want to say “No.” For them, the uncontrollable need for the elusive approval of others is an addiction. Their debilitating fears of anger and confrontation force them to use “niceness” and “people-pleasing” as self-defense camouflage.
Featured on NBC’s “Today,” The Disease to Please explodes the dangerous myth that “people pleasing” is a benign problem. Best-selling author and frequent “Oprah” guest Dr. Harriet Braiker offers clear, positive, practical, and easily do-able steps toward recovery.
Begin with a simple but revealing quiz to discover what type of people-pleaser you are. Then learn how making even small changes to any single portion of the Disease to Please Triangle – involving your thoughts, feelings, and behavior – will cause a dramatic, positive and long-lasting change to the overall syndrome.
As a recovered peoplepleaser, you will finally see that a balanced way of living that takes others into consideration but puts the emphasis first on pleasing yourself and gaining your own approval is the clearest path to health and happiness.
