This summer, a University of Amsterdam study reported that rude people get ahead at work more often than their more-polite colleagues. Workplace coach and career expert Brandon Smith tells us it’s all about establishing power. (Photo Courtesy of Tim Patterson via Flickr.)
To find out why this is the case – and how we might deal with it – we called on our resident workplace and career expert, Brandon Smith. He’s a workplace coach, therapist and consultant, and he talk about these kinds of work and career issues with us on a regular basis.
More of Brandon’s advice is on his website, theworkplacetherapist.com. And while you’re there, ask him your workplace or career question. We might even use your question on a future radio segment.
