Shifting the Monkey
Shifting the Monkey: The Art of Protecting Good People From Liars, Criers, and Other Slackers | Todd Whitaker
3 posts | 2 read | 9 to read
Poor employees get a disproportionate amount of attention. Why? Because they complain the loudest, create the greatest disruptions, and rely on others to assume the responsibilities that they shirk. Learn how to focus on your good employees first, and help them shift these monkeys back to the underperformers. Through a simple but brilliant metaphor, the author helps you reinvigorate your staff and transform your organization.

This one's been languishing on my bookshelf for years. I finally read it when it popped up March's #Bookspin. I found it underwhelming and the ideas mostly obvious. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the shelf!! 8mo

I have a problem. When I'm stressed, I buy books as therapy. This is April's haul so far 😳. To be fair, 4 of them were free, and 2 were super cheap and finished out a collection. And also to be fair, I just discovered a Facebook buy, sell, swap group...so there's that. But still, I have a problem 😕.

Juan: "This book shows you how not to make other people's problem your problem. I just borrowed it from my boss. If you're in a negative environment or working a tough job, this book will protect you. Basically hashtag positive vibes – that's what I live by. I also have a picture of my girlfriend in the book as my bookmark. Does that help me with the good vibes? Yes, she's the most positive thing in my life." #newyork
