When People Are The Problem, What Will You Do? is an anthology of case studies by a variety of experienced authors concerning different dilemmas in management. From when culture clash threatens a cross-border merger, to dealing with the distress of a star performer headed for a mental breakdown, to the awkward position of being sexually harassed by one of the company's most important clients, each situation presented unique management problems that had to be dealt with on financial, ethical, and personal levels. Greater lessons in how to keep things running smoothly interweave this recommended collection of instances when human misunderstandings and weaknesses are the integral part of a mess.

We live in an age of wonder when every village has a library. Every home with a computer has access to the very archives of human wisdom, experience, learning, and discovery. It's as if we have our own fabled Library of Alexandria at our virtual finger tips and can access the thoughts and stories of the best of all recorded human history at our whim and pleasure.
