107 Secrets of Highly Effective Affholes: Fun and Easy Ways Bosses Grow & Maintain Power in the Workplace with Manipulation & Mind Games (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781726665605)

Have you ever wondered, "My boss is a jerk! How did he even get so far?" The answer lies in these pages, in the strategies and tactics Highly Effective Affholes use to successfully climb the corporate ladder and maintain their power in the workplace - often even without qualifications or leadership skills.

This is the book your boss doesn't want you to read, because it gives you behind-the-scenes secrets into how they thrive, and how bosses manage to get away with even the most outrageous antics!

It's a fun, fact-based, tongue-in-cheek (but true!) exposé of the manipulations, mind games, methods, and magic phrases that leaders use successfully every day. Those common destructive office practices nobody talks about openly, and everyone shrugs off as "just the way it is." The power-play practices that make good workers cry silently in frustration, "I hate my job so much!"

This revealing book shines a spotlight on what really goes on - and covers a boatload of tried-and-true techniques that other workplace how-to books are afraid to discuss.

You'll learn:

• what's behind the workplace success of bosses who don't seem to deserve it - how they not only survive, but thrive,
• how to identify and label the different tactics when jerk bosses use them on you or others,
• the inner workings of these tactics - the mental and psychological impact, and why they work so well,
• to more easily be able to ground yourself in the reality that it's not you, it's them.

Written in a playful, satirical tone, this book uses relatable, real-life stories and scenarios collected from across the country, truly showing what happens inside the heads of the major players in these everyday workplace dramas.

It dives into the behaviorial, workplace dynamics, and psychological mechanisms jerks at work use to manipulate people and situations to their advantage - and how they're able to bring anyone down, even if their target did nothing wrong. In fact, an Effective Affhole can make even the most competent, skilled worker look like an incompetent, ridiculous fool!

It's fun to be in the know! Which of these tactics is your boss using on you? As you read through the chapters, see if you recognize any you're experiencing.

You'll enjoy the validation of knowing these methods - and their craziness - are real, and learning the intricacies of how and why they work so well.

So we're blowing the lid off this hush-hush topic that company leaders pretend doesn't exist, and exposing the corporate culture b.s. that keeps these tactics working. What's really going on within their ranks? It's not just good business - it's Highly Effective Affholeness!
