Don't Shine: The Surprising Science of Workplace Performance and Why Doing Your Best Work May Be Hazardous to Your Career by Christophe P. Yerling Ph.D.My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Don't Shine: The Surprising Science of Workplace Performance and Why Doing Your Best Work May Be Hazardous to Your Career by Christophe P. Yerling Ph.D. certainly grabs your attention right away with it's clever title. The foundation of the book however, is more firmly grounded in reality, and what happens when you change your tactics at work. Office environs can be tricky, from idle chat around the water cooler, to competition, to office bullying, at best it can be described as socially charged. The book is premised on a hostile working environment. The author basically has reconstituted a study that aligns with his theories, whereby, if you are nicer in the office, have more humility, and work together, then many office politics scenarios can be alleviated. This is an interesting take on a subject that is not often tackled, a quick read that could be of benefit to many.
