Neanderthals at Work

Suffer in silence no more. Now, from the authors of the bestselling Dinosaur Brains, here is a witty, informative, and devilishly. perceptive look at the club-wielding, cave-dwelling boneheads who can make life in the office so miserable. With the plainspeaking, success-oriented advice of Neanderthals at Work, you can rise above primitive behavior and take the evolutionary leap into an enlightened and more productive workplace. Once you learn to undo the first rule of Neanderthal thinking -- Us vs. Them -- you'll quickly identify these stone-age throwbacks and begin to deal with them effectively:

Competitors -- To them, if you're not a Winner you're a Loser. Rebels -- Creative innovators, they always avoid the three Ps: paperwork, politics, and people problems.

Believers -- They work hard, follow the rules, and never get promoted.

Whether your goal is getting ahead or just coexisting peacefully, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to survive and thrive in the ultra-competitive workplace of the 1990s.

"You'll come away from every chapter with valuable insights. Best of all, you'll learn how not to be a victim of Neanderthal-like conditions."

-- Stephen R. Covey

Author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
