Product Description
Worriers, controllers, attention-seekers, victims, fakes: these are all typical profiles of professionals who let different types of fear keep them from achieving professional success. And fear has an even more destructive effect: It is the root of conflict, which can undermine the productivity of teams and entire organizations. Face It identifies several basic behavioral profiles, and helps readers assess their own behaviors as well as those of coworkers. The book explains how the behaviors develop, and offers practical techniques for replacing fear and mistrust with mutual respect and rebuilding the sense of shared commitment to common goals. Like a session with a good personal coach, Face It will give readers new strength to face their fears, and help them work more productively as individuals and with colleagues. Conquering their demons will allow them to establish a pattern of improved performance, self-esteem, and personal freedom. |

Invaluable Wake Up Call by Richard Hayward (KENSINGTON, Victoria, Australia)  5 Stars
August 16, 2005
If this book can tell you something about yourself, then it is invaluable to you. It is highly original. It is exceptionally well written with a flowing style. The six fear based behaviour types provides a powerful self assessment device. This is the first step to understanding others. I think I'm now getting the message. Thanks Art Horn!

Helpful and interesting by D. Marchese (toronto, ontario Canada)  4 Stars
August 17, 2004
Having read and reread this book I feel confident in recommending it to anyone interested in learning to deal with with workplace conflict and cohabitation.
The author persuasively and logically argues that most workplace conflict is driven by fears that we may not even be aware of. Using the practical strategies put forth in the book has allowed me to gain greater understanding of where fears come from and how to cope with them. This book would be a valuable tool for anyone interested in turning discord into harmony, both at home and at work.
The final section of the book suffers slightly from what felt to me like a shift in tone and emphasis. This part of the book seemed to be where the author became concerned with sharing his own personal worldview and therefore might be less useful for the hardcore business reader looking for workplace strategies to implement. That being said, I found this portion of the book to be interesting and enlightening to read simply as a human being and not as a "business person".
Highly recommended.
