Author Thomas Erikson explains that there are four key behavior types that define how we interact with and perceive the people around us. Understanding someone’s pattern of behavior is the key to successful communication. Erikson breaks down the four kinds of behavior types - Reds who are dominant and commanding, Yellows who are social and optimistic, Greens who are laid-back and friendly, and Blues who are analytical and precise - and explains how to identify and interact with each type of person.

Was it a typo when the CEO mandated that the organization "institutionalize incompetents"? If not, how did the company wind up institutionalizing incompetence instead? How to Work for an Idiot is still the confessions of a recovering Idiot Boss. After decades of writing and consulting, Dr. Hoover finally realized that many of the people he kept trying to "energize" and "enlighten" were, well, idiots. More importantly, he was an idiot for thinking he could change them. This new edition is bigger and better - and filled with even more idiots - than before.

not worth the time to listen
I thought this would be tongue in cheek. It wasn't, actually referring to people with lesser intellectual capabilities as 'stupid' over and over. People I may refer to that way are those who have the IQ, education, or whatever they need to handle a situation but don't use what they have to act according to what they are equipped with through laziness, selfishness, lack of critical thinking, not taking proper time, not consulting or notifying appropriate people, etc. A very insulting work for those who may not have been able to gain education for various reasons, or do not have the mental capacity someone else might have been blessed with from birth. The end of the book presents some questions to ask yourself and suggestions of actions to take for those who feel they need more mental stimulation, which is good regardless of where you are at now, to keep from being frustrated or feeling odd or lonely, and for challenging yourself to grow. None of these suggestions are earthshatteringly new, but it's nice to have them in one place if you are someone looking for stimulation or growth.
