Working With Porcupines
Terry McKinney
Difficult, prickly people seem to be everywhere: At work, at home, in restaurants, on the highway, every-friggin’-where! And there is an art to dealing with them. You can learn this art, so problem-people become easier to manage and have less impact on your life and work. Working With Porcupines gives you 24 easily learned proven tips, techniques and hacks for dealing with impossible bosses, idea-stealing work colleagues, almost-impossible relatives and challenging spouses and partners. Each of these 24 tips is the perfect length for before-bed reading!
No more cowering at work as narcissists, blamers, dramatics and sociopaths dominate every conversation. No more tiptoeing around an impossible boss who is sucking the life out of you. Working With Porcupines takes you inside a sociopath-rich work environment - - - the aerospace industry - - - where, for whatever reason, strong personalities and grumpy, odd people congregate!

See how the major defense contractors and agencies in the USA keep their “Type A” leaders and managers productive without being domineering, and in-charge without burning out their employees. Mack has trained them all: Boeing Phantom Works, Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky and ADP (Skunk Works); Northrop Grumman (four divisions), General Dynamics, Booz Allen Hamilton, Raytheon, DARPA, FAA, NASA, all the US Military services, and many Allied nations as well (no endorsement alleged or implied). If you want to be listened-to and respected, if you are tired of being manipulated by toxic, abrasive bullies and idiots, if you are seeking a blueprint for living, even a personal mental and behavioral framework for a happier life, then Working With Porcupines is for you.
