Freeing Yourself from Emotional Traps at Work
by Katherine Crowley (Author), Kathi Elster (Author)
If you find yourself getting fed up and frustrated with a colleague whose incompetence is driving you crazy, a boss who gets angry when you're not a mind reader, or an employee who habitually challenges your authority, chances are you're caught in an emotional trap in the workplace. Quit complaining and do something! Freeing yourself is easier than you think-and you don't have to quit or fire anyone to do it.
The solution is simple: Take control of your own response. In this pragmatic and insightful guide, psychotherapist Katherine Crowley and nationally recognized business consultant Kathi Elster combine their expertise and twenty years of research to teach you how to unhook from upsetting situations and eliminate your workplace woes step by illuminating step.
Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster come from the same core interest: what makes people tick. Born in the 50's, they were both raised in the northeast, and both showed early signs of being generally fascinated by human behavior. As a child, Katherine Crowley spent hours reading books about astrology and famous movie stars from the 1930's. She combed over the biographies of such film icons as Jean Harlow, Vivien Leigh and Spencer Tracy. "I was intrigued by the public victories and personal tragedies they endured."
They are the co-authors of the New York Times bestseller Working with You Is Killing Me and the founders of the consulting firm K Squared Enterprises. Crowley is a Harvard trained psychotherapist, and Elster is a business strategist. Both are speakers and consultants on workplace relationships.
