This book would be good for most people, however, I was disappointed that the author glossed over "bullying", which was the issue that made me want to buy the book.Working with the Enemy is a very good NLP layout for working with most working situations, particularly where the person reading the book might possibly be part of the problem.  The author assumes that people are working in reasonable, culturally responsible situations, in which people are judged by what they do.As an NLP practitioner, I recognize that this book is a very good offering (particularly at the price I paid) for people who need to learn how to order their own behavior in order to achieve their goals.  I would highly recommend it on this level.Unfortunately, for me, it does not address the issue of bullying, which can occur even in corporate-bound situations, but is quite possible in private companies where an individual is given power over others and chooses to mistreat a certain individual (refusing that person privileges available to all others, denying that person advancement for no specific reason, lying to that person--without having been asked-- about what is going on in the company,or about company policy, and telling that person that this treatment is because one person has complained against them, while multiple complaints have been registered against every other employee, without any punitive measures being against them... just to name a few possible crimes).  I was really hoping for some guidance on dealing with a bully, as that is where I am.Although I have used every idea in my NLP training manuals, I am dealing with a bully, and I am not really prepared for that, and had hoped that I would find some help here.  Oh well.
