Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other.

Author: Hafeez Diwan
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781986800105
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
LOVING OBNOXIOUS PEOPLE IS RATIONAL, LIFE-SAVING, LIFE-ENHANCING - AND POSSIBLE - EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A SAINT... Our world's supply of obnoxious people is seemingly limitless, and we can make ourselves physically and mentally sick by reacting to them in the usual ways. Loving them is thus a sensible response. Fortunately, loving them is not complicated or difficult. It is literally almost as simple as watching something go by (okay, a bit more difficult, but not too much more). Learn how and why being annoyed by, hating, or lashing back at obnoxious people is harmful to us. And discover a simple method of getting closer to loving them (without excusing them, or losing the ability to deal effectively with them).

What's Wrong with China
Author: Paul Midler
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111921372X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
What’s Wrong with China is the most cogent, insightful and penetrating examination I have read on the paradoxes and self-deceptions of Modern China, written by someone who has lived in the country and dealt with it day to day for decades. This book will be hated by the commissars, because it is a triumph of analysis and good sense. —PAUL THEROUX I sure wish I’d read this book before heading to China—or Chinatown, for that matter. China runs on an entirely different operating system—both commercial and personal. Midler’s clear, clever analysis and illuminating, often hilarious tales foster not only understanding but respect. —MARY ROACH From the Back Cover What’s Wrong with China is the widely anticipated follow-up to Paul Midler’s Poorly Made in China, an exposé of China manufacturing practices. Applying a wider lens in this account, he reveals many of the deep problems affecting Chinese society as a whole. Once again, Midler delivers the goods by rejecting commonly held notions, breaking down old myths, and providing fresh explanations of lesser-understood cultural phenomena.
