Among idiots

Do you sometimes feel like you're the only one making sense in a meeting?
Do long answers drive you crazy or does your colleague's argumentative manner get on your nerves?
You are not the only one.

Thomas Erikson explains that there are four basic types of behavior that determine how we interact and perceive those around us. Understanding a person's behavior pattern is the key to successful communication.

He analyzes these four types – Reds are dominant and oppressive, Yellows are sociable and optimistic, Greens are relaxed and friendly, and Blues are analytical and precise – and explains how we can identify each type of person and communicate with them.
The simple and practical four-color system allows you to quickly identify the color of a friend or colleague and adjust the way you speak to them and the information you share accordingly.

The author will help you better understand yourself, perfect your communication and social skills, manage conflicts with confidence, improve your relationship with your boss and team, understand when to speak up and when not to, and generally change the way you interact with other people, from coworkers to your partner.

And with any luck, ensure that the idiot isn't you!
