Is Everyone on Our Team the Same? Then Why are You Treating Them the Same?

One of your biggest challenges as a manager is getting the best out of each of your ream. If you want superior management results, you need to figure out what each person needs and deliver it. In Rare Knuckle People Management authors Sean O'Neil and John Kulisek take a no-nonsense approach in showing managers how to push their teams to success, not by following traditional fluffy leadership training principles but by using the skills that got them promoted in the first place.

Forget kumbayas or one-minute managing. The best people managers know that approaches that work great with one employee will be lost on another. With the same irreverent and entertaining style they use in their management training workshops, O'Neil and Kulisek describe the sixteen basic worker types you must learn to recognize, from The Badass to The Burnout, and how to customize your management style for each.

Written in short, easily digestible sections, this take-no prisoners guide is perfect for any manager pressed for time and in need of some practical, real-world help.
