45 Things You Do That Drive Your Boss Crazy--And How to Avoid Them - Softcover

Anita Bruzzese has written the "On the Job" column for the Gannett News Service since 1992. It is read by an estimated eight million readers in print and millions more online.

Bruzzese's book might seem superfluous to employees who think they are exemplary. But, in workplaces, my observation is that few employees ever reach the exemplary stage. There is always room to improve relationships with co-workers, underlings and bosses. Bruzzese's guide is a smart place to begin. -- Kansas City Star

Odds are that you've learned by now that such things as "treating the workplace like it's the love shack," "earning a reputation as whiner, drama queen or general pain in the neck," or "giving lackluster speeches or presentations"--three of Bruzzese's lessons--are going to keep you from being promoted. Still, it's fun to read about employees who committed those sins and still expected huge raises and promotions. -- CFO.com

Peter Drucker once told me that half the leaders he met did not need to learn what to do -- they needed to learn what to stop doing. This is a wonderful "what to stop doing" guide. Practical, useful, and fun, it provides great coaching for employees at all levels. -- Marshall Goldsmith, author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There
