Product Description
Sufferers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder may be bosses, fellow workers, or employees, but whatever their status, they can make working anything from a headache to a nightmare. Narcissists like to take credit for others’ work, inflate their own accomplishments, and expect — even demand — an unlimited supply of favors from their colleagues. Nina Brown provides a no-nonsense, hands-on approach to coping with — and overcoming — such stresses without losing integrity or self-control. An expert on group interpersonal relationships, she offers realistic strategies for changing expectations, listening and responding constructively, learning not to take things personally, and deciding when it’s best to simply ignore especially outrageous behavior.
From the Publisher
Narcissists in the workplace take credit for others' work, inflate their own accomplishments, and expect an unlimited supply of favors from their colleagues. Working with or for such a person often means feeling discredited and unrecognized in their shadow. This new book from the author of "Children of the Self-Absorbed" shows readers that they are not helpless in face of a narcissistic coworker and that they needn't consider giving up their rights or their job. Instead, she offers practical methods for managing the narcissist's destructive behaviors and making sure one's own work gets the respect it deserves. Realistic strategies are suggested for changing expectations, responding in a constructive manner, not taking things personally, and deciding when it's best to ignore especially outrageous behavior.
