Clear and concise in its advice, and expansive in its scope, Ask A Manager is the book I wish I’d had in my desk drawer when I was starting out (or even, let’s be honest, fifteen years in). Alison Green’s pragmatic approach to solving workplace dilemmas - from taking criticism to dishing it out - will make you not only a better, happier employee, it will help you tolerate less-than-perfect managers and put you well on your way to having their job someday … and doing it better
I am a HUGE fan of Alison Green’s ‘Ask a Manager’ column. I never miss it and always want more. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces - and to do so with grace, confidence and a sense of humourFrequently hilarious, sometimes disturbing … the advice, though not always by the book, is surprisingly sensible when it comes to diffusing everyday conflictAsk a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic, but firm way. Alison Green covers just about every conceivable awkward moment you can (and will) experience as an employee, coworker, or boss and then gives you a script for how to address and, more importantly, solve the problemAbout The Author
