Neanderthals at Work: How People and Politics Can Drive You Crazy...And What You Can Do About Them
By the same authors of Dinosaur Brains ( LJ 4/1/89), this work uses the stories of several characters at a fictional company, Neander-Tek, to illustrate the personality types every company has--Rebels, Believers, and Competitors. The authors identify the characteristics of each type and the problems each has getting along with the other. The work is not about how to change who you are, but rather how to understand and work cooperatively with those who are different from you. The obvious humor does not get in the way of a clear insight into the nature of people and organizations. Anyone who works in an organization of even moderate size will have trouble putting this down. Recommended for all business collections.- Michael D. Kathman, St. John's Univ.
