Bullies Beware!

          

             Brow-beaten employees learn to fight back!

                               2nd edition now published

 

February 2012                                           

In times of economic stress, financial worry, job security and a general drop in consumer confidence, we might imagine that people in fear of their jobs simply keep their heads down and do as they’re told.

 

However, many brow-beaten employees are now fighting back against workplace bullies and giving them a taste of their own medicine. Yet, rather than resorting to blunt, bare-faced bully tactics themselves, they’re being very clever about how they gain the upper hand.

 

Anecdotal evidence comes from Jon Lavelle, author of a fascinating new book, Water Off a Duck’s Back, on how to deal with frustrating situations, awkward, exasperating and manipulative people.

Lavelle reports that in conversations with many of his readers he has learned that one of the main reasons why people pick up his book is to learn how to deal with a difficult boss, a manipulative work colleague or a down-and-out bully!

 

For too long, a significant minority of employees have suffered at the hands of unreasonable, demanding and demeaning bosses, and many have been at a loss to know how to deal with such tactics – well now the tables are turning on workplace bullies.

 

In a refreshing new approach, Lavelle uses psychological methods to help his readers fight back in a unique and effective way. He describes it as an “Iron fist in a velvet glove” approach that totally disarms bullies and leaves them clueless as to what just happened!

 

Proof that the techniques work is not hard to find…

“Just one tip alone, which I tried out yesterday on my boss, has had a dramatically positive effect, and completely put me back in control. I'm still reeling from how effective it was… I can't wait to try the other tips!”

 

“It's great fun to be able to play someone at their own game; just understanding how someone has manipulated me or situations up until now is half the battle; I’m loving fighting back.”

 

“I have actively turned situations around and can now really spot when people are using their manipulative tools, which helps me to nip things in the bud. I needed this book years ago!”

 

Lavelle’s approach appears to be working as it’s leaving belligerent bullies wondering why they are suddenly finding themselves ‘alarmingly disarmed’, helpless, hapless and impotent.

 

Harassed employees now have the tools they need to turn the tables on bullies, manipulators and bloody-minded bosses once and for all.
