We have all been faced with this pretentious colleague, convinced that everything they touch turns to gold, or this slacker colleague, who, from coffee break to coffee break, has not set foot in their office for days. Life in a company means being confronted with co-workers who are sometimes irritating, incompetent or frustrated… and it is not always easy to avoid open or latent conflicts. How can we accept that a colleague steals an idea from us or spreads rumors about us?

After presenting a gallery of toxic personality traits found in co-workers, Gaël Chatelain-Berry teaches us how to find a way to work with them in a healthier environment.

With humor and practical tips, Gaël Chatelain-Berry offers here a manual for managing your colleagues on a daily basis, in an efficient and caring manner.

Because, deep down, aren’t we all someone’s colleague?

From TF1 to Canal+, Gaël Chatelain-Berry has built up solid experience as a manager. Now a speaker, writer and podcaster, he has decided to speak out on what has become his “hobby horse”: benevolence in business. In particular, he created “Happy Work”, the most listened to French-language podcast on well-being at work. He is the author, among others, of Mon boss est nul, mais je le soigne and Manager bienveillant 2.0.
