What To Do If…? is the kind of book you will find yourself reaching for again and again. It is packed with advice on how to a host handle stressful workplace scenarios, and answers the questions you perhaps didn’t even know you should ask.
How do I become a more approachable boss? How do I make the most of a networking event? How do I handle presentation nerves? What do I do if someone starts crying in a meeting? What about if a colleague seems emotionally unstable? You’ll find the answers to all of these questions, and more.
The brilliantly simple concept behind this book came from the questions Anne-Maartje Oud was frequently asked during her career as a workplace behaviour specialist. Rather than get weighed down in academic theories and frameworks, she sets about offering practical advice and proven strategies on how to tackle specific challenges.
More than just a book for leaders, What To Do If…? is broken down in into five sections – Self-Development, Communication, Collaboration & Teamwork, Leadership, and Difficult Situations, to help anyone turn stressful scenarios into opportunities to thrive.
Unfortunately, business leadership doesn’t come with a user manual, but if it did this book would be a very good ‘Troubleshooting’ guide for when things don’t go to plan.
