"Body Language at Work" will transform your ability to interpret critical gestures and tell-tale expressions in yourself as well as others. Adrian Furnham, Professor of psychology, writer and broadcaster dispels the claims and common misconceptions surrounding body talk to reveal the true significance of this fascinating yet powerful form of communication. He covers: how we betray attitudes, emotions and personality in non-verbal ways - what body language can and can't communicate - the nature and meaning of signals - eye gaze, facial expression, gesture, posture, touch - what our clothes, jewellery and even choice of deodorant say about us - how far we can expose the artful dodger, the office phoney and the interview fake.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

The idea of leadership failure and derailment has been brushed under the carpet for far too long and only now are statistics appearing on the sheer number of leaders who fail at their jobs. Backstabbers and Bullies provides the latest psychiatric and clinical perspectives on dark-side behaviour, including: - recognising and coping with over-confident, narcissistic and psychopathic leaders; - causes of leadership derailment and failure; - corrupt corporate cultures; and - the criminal personality. Fascinating reading for anyone who has worked alongside a corporate psychopath, business narcissist or histrionic show-off, Backstabbers and Bullies goes beyond the science to explain how to better understand, manage and prevent dark-side behaviour, as well as presenting advice for reducing derailment potential for yourself, your colleagues and your organisation.

Leadership is most needed in times of change, uncertainty and crisis.&nbsp; We are living through those times.&nbsp; To support leaders in all spheres, this book provides a guide to the territory of leadership and its three domains: the strategic (head), the operational (hands) and the interpersonal (heart).&nbsp; It describes the tasks leaders have to achieve and explains the psychology of leadership based in personality.&nbsp; It argues strongly that complete leadership is the province of diverse teams of leaders made up of complementary differences. And now the best has just got better.&nbsp; The new edition shows how leadership has to change over time, describes how the most highly rated leaders achieve their goals and also elucidates the neuroscience of leadership to enhance understanding of leadership's foundations. Pendleton, Furnham and Cowell's work is a powerful combination of the best research on the psychology of leadership and years of iteration and practical implementation in the field - working with thousands of leaders from all walks of life and learning from their successes and challenges. There is no one secret recipe for success as a leader. What this book provides is a framework to enable you to achieve success in your own way.
