Description

'I'm a HUGE fan of Alison Green's "Ask a Manager" column. This book is even better' Robert Sutton, author of THE NO ASSHOLE RULE and THE ASSHOLE SURVIVAL GUIDE

'ASK A MANAGER is the book I wish I'd had in my desk drawer when I was starting out (or even, let's be honest, fifteen years in)' - Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of THE LIFE CHANGING MAGIC OF NOT GIVING A F*CK

A witty, practical guide to navigating 200 difficult professional conversations

Ten years as a workplace advice columnist has taught Alison Green that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they don't know what to say. Thankfully, Alison does. In this incredibly helpful book, she takes on the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.

You'll learn what to say when:

colleagues push their work on you - then take credit for it

you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email and hit 'reply all'

you're being micromanaged - or not being managed at all

your boss seems unhappy with your work

you got too drunk at the Christmas party

With sharp, sage advice and candid letters from real-life readers, ASK A MANAGER will help you successfully navigate the stormy seas of office life.

Critic Reviews

“The author's friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read . . . Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience . . . Highly recommended”

Clear and concise in its advice, and expansive in its scope, Ask A Manager is the book I wish I'd had in my desk drawer when I was starting out (or even, let's be honest, fifteen years in). Alison Green's pragmatic approach to solving workplace dilemmas - from taking criticism to dishing it out - will make you not only a better, happier employee, it will help you tolerate less-than-perfect managers and put you well on your way to having their job someday . . . and doing it better

I am a HUGE fan of Alison Green's 'Ask a Manager' column. I never miss it and always want more. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces - and to do so with grace, confidence and a sense of humour

Frequently hilarious, sometimes disturbing . . . the advice, though not always by the book, is surprisingly sensible when it comes to diffusing everyday conflict

Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic, but firm way. Alison Green covers just about every conceivable awkward moment you can (and will) experience as an employee, coworker, or boss and then gives you a script for how to address and, more importantly, solve the problem
