OK, perhaps not strictly a book written for employers, nevertheless business leaders can extract valuable insight from ‘Approachable Lawyer’ Michael Smyth’s second book Employed But Under Fire – Strategies for Dealing with a Difficult Boss.
People spend a significant proportion of their lives at work, so when they’re under fire and the boss is giving them a hard time it can have a significant impact on their happiness and wellbeing. This book explains in simple terms what is really going on at work and strategies people can adopt to get out of the stress. Lessons include how to negotiate an employment agreement; how to answer misconduct allegations; how to deal with a performance management process; how to deal with a bully; and how to raise a personal grievance and get it resolved.
Paperback RRP: $35 (with coupon $25); E-book RRP $19 (with coupon $12). NZBusiness readers go to www.employedbutunderfire.com and use the code ‘BUSINESS’ to receive the discount.   ISBN: 978-04732-65229
