"Is your office a place of soul-destroying negativity? Corporate trainer Shola Richards, creator of The Positivity Solution blog (thepositivitysolution.com), is about to change that forever. "My mission was clear: I needed to fix the problems facing the workplace. I came up with the solution: We need to treat each other better. Period." Shola Richards had reached the end of the road: after nearly two years at a soul-sucking job, he felt numb and suicidal. So he quit and devoted himself to nothing less than transforming the workplace, turning it into a space of respect, courtesy, and endless energy. Banish on-the-job bullying, put meaning back into work, and enhance coworkers' happiness and engagement. The author explains why inaction is insane, why we must move forward with positivity, and why the "abc" employees (asshats, bullies, and complainers) are so destructive.
