From the Inside Flap:
Work is tough. No matter what you do or where you do it, difficult situations are always likely to arise. The true test of a professional is how you respond to those difficult and stressful moments in the office. Do you react negatively, making the situation worse? Or do you respond positively and change the situation to your benefit?

In her previous book, Toxic People, Marsha Petrie Sue showed you how to deal with even the most difficult coworkers. Now, in The Reactor Factor, she illustrates how to positively manage every other kind of difficult office situation. Combining her proven lessons on accountability with interviews with successful business leaders, she helps you turn negative situations into positive business results while maximizing your own professional success.

This practical career guide gives you the tools to respond with calm, positive action to even the most negative situations. You'll learn how to:

  • Positively manage spoiled brats, entitled coworkers, and employees

  • Defuse rumors and navigate the rough waters of office politics

  • Understand and benefit from social networking

  • Dish out positive action rather than negative blame

  • Reduce or eliminate resistance to change

  • Disarm those who challenge your ideas and suggestions

  • Encourage personal responsibility and maximum effort from colleagues and subordinates

In addition, The Reactor Factor guides you through the ongoing process of professional development for long-term success. Not only does it help you hone the skills you need to manage difficult situations, it also shows you how to package and market your skills to fit your company's needs, achieve goals that will make you stand out, and focus on your strengths while mitigating your weaknesses.

Turn the negative into the positive with this real-world guide that shows you how to conquer every challenge on your way to unlimited success.

From the Back Cover:
Praise for The Reactor Factor

"This book could easily be called 'No BS Bullet Points for Success. 'Straight talk about lots of topics and what you can actually DO to make your life the way you want it. Buy it, read it, and go to work!"—Larry Winget New York Times bestselling author of People Are Idiots and I Can Prove It!

"Marsha is a straight-talker, direct, and honest, and shows you how personal accountability is key in both the business world and your personal relationship with yourself and others. She provides ways and tips on how to see yourself through the eyes of others and honestly assess yourself."—Betty Chan-Bauza Vice President of Strategy and Product, LifeLock

"In my twenty years in the United States Marine Corps, at all levels of command, we operated by an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). Marsha has provided you an SOP for success if you dare to read it."—Steve Hill Master Sergeant, United States Marine Corps (retired)

"Read this book! If you need a job, it will give you clear direction; if you have a job, it will give you higher purpose. Marsha is the real deal and someone who truly cares about serving others."—Doug Duce Chairman, iMemories; former Chairman and CEO, Cold Stone Creamery

"My experience has been that most management material I've read over the last forty-five years is either a restatement of Drucker or approaches problems as if they were in a test tube with static solutions. That is why I enjoyed Marsha's book. She provides practical tools that may not guarantee success but do guarantee the opportunity to succeed."—Bruce Crile Vice President, Human Resources, The Doctors Company

"This book shows you how to leap over mental hurdles, remain positive and optimistic in the face of turbulence and negativity, and fulfill your full potential for successful living."—Brian Tracy author of How Leaders Lead
