About

When things continually go wrong, it may be tempting to blame an incompetent manager. Before labelling your manager as incompetent, behavioral expert Peter Quarry suggests getting a realistic and independent appraisal of what’s going on. It may be a difference of working styles, or even a personality clash. And if your manager is incompetent, this course provides sound advice on strategies to move forward.

In this video you will learn to communicate your needs to the manager while negotiating outcomes., staying flexible and sharing coping strategies with others. And if you can no longer cope, and your health and wellbeing is at risk, it may be time to leave that team.
