"True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school clas is running the country."
--Kurt Vonnegut
When it comes down to it, work-with its brown-nosers, know-it-alls, and gossips-is a lot like high school. With wit and uncanny accuracy, Wilma Davidson and Jack Dougherty present and analyze the common personality types we're all familiar with from the high school cafeteria who now reside in the workplace to help you identify and better communicate with each type.

-If your client is a Complainer, be proactive in solving any problems
-If your colleague is a Bully, stand your ground
Complete with advice on handling authority, popularity, conformity, and other concerns from high school that live on in the workplace, this delightful guide will entertain and educate.
