Business Assessments

The Drama-Free Office describes four energy-draining personalities that sabotage workplace collaboration and synergy. Jim Warner and Kaley Klemp blend humorous and relatable case studies with proven tools for managing ‘office saboteurs’—subordinates, co-workers, and bosses. Readers will see their coworkers (and themselves) in this entertaining blueprint for addressing the dramatic behaviors that cripple so many teams.

The authors’ research draws on years of experience working with more than 4,000 CEOs and their executive teams. They define the four major drama roles—the Complainer, the Cynic, the Controller, and the Caretaker—found in most organizations and lay out a detailed roadmap to help you:

• Skillfully initiate difficult conversations and defuse dramatic moments
• Reclaim the time, energy, and resources wasted in drama-riddled meetings and interactions
• Reduce your own dramatic tendencies and take control of your work life
• Create and sustain a collaborative, authentic, and fun work environment
