The Abrasive Manager

An interview with Laura Crawshaw

When bosses are abrasive, everyone loses.   The good news is that they can change.  An expert tells you how.

"You have either tried everything you can think of to tame the abrasive manager's agressive behavior, to no avail, or are too afraid to try anything, for fear of what could happen. Let me tell you why they do what they do, and what you can do about it."
