Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Service workers share their funniest and most cringeworthy stories of difficult, demanding, and just plain mind-boggling encounters with the public . . . “Ma’am, the rules clearly state that you cannot have any liquids over 3.4 ounces in your carry-on. If you’d like to, you could—” “But that’s not a liquid!” “Excuse me, ma’am?” “It’s not a liquid! It’s water!” Retailers, restaurants, and tech support providers believe service is king, but in The Customer Is Not Always Right, A.J. Adams proves that customers will do anything they can to put that motto to the test. Enjoy tales from the creator of the popular website Not Always Right, including half that are previously unpublished, showcasing customer-relations horror stories everyone can relate to. No matter what side of the counter you’re on, there are hilarious accounts about everything that can go wrong between the customer and retail or service provider. Whether it's a confrontation in the drive-through over not enough fries or arguing over a one-cent price difference on milk, this book proves the principle of “the customer is always right” can be dead wrong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO BE RIGHT. EVERY SINGLE TIME In their minds, there is always a winner and there is always a loser. Deep down, very few of us like these people. And yet, often we work for them, we work with them and perhaps we even identify as one of them. At times, I have been that person. It does not make me proud. True success comes from humility, compromise and connection. As a former Regional President and Global brand head for Mars Incorporated (UK, Australia and Chicago), a senior marketer for Reebok International (England and the Netherlands) and a fresh-faced account executive in the London advertising scene, Hamish Thomson reveals that breakthrough and transformation come not from intellect or technical mastery, but from experience and observation of real-life occurrences. And sometimes the best solutions are the most counterintuitive. It's Not Always Right to be Right offers learning messages, practical steps, and shareable strategic frameworks to help drive change in individuals, teams and entire organisations. Including commentary and critique from 17 leading international business experts—leaders of global industry, diplomacy and advocacy—this seminal guide offers applicable lessons, robustly tested. Whether you're just starting out in the business and corporate world, in the middle of your career looking to break through, or in a global leadership position seeking meaningful change and exceptionalism, this guidebook will put you on the path to true business and personal success.

Book excerpt: To err is human. Yet most of us go through life assuming (and sometimes insisting) that we are right about nearly everything, from the origins of the universe to how to load the dishwasher. In Being Wrong, journalist Kathryn Schulz explores why we find it so gratifying to be right and so maddening to be mistaken. Drawing on thinkers as varied as Augustine, Darwin, Freud, Gertrude Stein, Alan Greenspan, and Groucho Marx, she shows that error is both a given and a gift—one that can transform our worldviews, our relationships, and ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There once was an organization where the prevailing attitude was "I am right and you are wrong". Everywhere, groups were at odds: women versus men, management versus employees, line versus staff departments. In this land of "us versus them", discussion was sparse and compromise was unthinkable. After all, each group was right, of course, and they knew it!In this delightful parable (in the spirit of A Peacock in the Land of Penguins and Pigeonholed in the Land of Penguins), Hateley, Schmidt, and Weiss collaborate again to create witty narration and wry illustrations that make a critical point. When conflict paralyzes the company, a gentle sound rises above the din. "Uhhmm", this voice says, "maybe I was mistaken". To which another voice responds, "Perhaps you were right". The ensuing dialogue leads to mutually-beneficial solutions.This inspiring tale about defeating divisiveness in the workplace demonstrates how conflict can be a positive force for change when managed correctly. Readers find tips and models to help apply what they've learned to real-life situations.
