Combating the work of organizational bullies. Dealing with difficult bosses. Managing the performance of organizational stars or problem employees who don’t carry their own weight.

Whether executives and managers are working with a coach or going it alone, Manager’s Desktop Consultant provides quick and easy access to practical advice that will put them on the path toward an optimal solution for whatever relationship problem they face.

Authors Essex and Kusy have been in the trenches with Fortune 500 companies worldwide, creating successful interventions that have helped hundreds of clients navigate the trouble spots. In Manager’s Desktop Consultant, they cut through the maze of people management challenges to identify the six most common issues affecting performance, productivity, and profitability: managing and leading change, building collaboration and teamwork, managing performance, managing conflict, dealing with organizational politics, and establishing new leadership. They offer detailed scenarios that describe each problem situation and examine possible decision models, strategies, tactics, and tools. Essex and Kusy then provide their independent viewpoints on how best to address the problem. Assessment profiles and checklists, sample questions and dialogue offer additional guidance on how to promote discussions that lead to resolution and build a solid foundation for management success.
