Description

After a disastrous meeting with a highly successful entrepreneur, who was
genuinely convinced he was "surrounded by idiots", communication expert and
bestselling author, Thomas Erikson dedicated himself to understanding how
people function and why we often struggle to connect with certain types of
people. Do you ever think you’re the only one making any sense? Or tried to
reason with your partner with disastrous results? Do long, rambling answers
drive you crazy? Or does your colleague’s abrasive manner rub you the wrong
way? You are not alone. Surrounded by Idiots is an international
phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. It offers a simple,
yet ground-breaking method for assessing the personalities of people we
communicate with – in and out of the office – based on four personality
types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), and provides insights into how we can
adjust the way we speak and share information. Erikson will help you
understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle
conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get
the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple
tricks on body language, improving written communication, advice on when to
back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or shut up. Packed with
‘aha!’ and ‘oh no!’ moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand
and communicate with those around you, even people you currently think are
beyond all comprehension. And with a bit of luck you can also be confident
that the idiot out there isn’t you!
