Bullying in the workplace. Business ethics violations. Sexual harassment. The behaviors can be found in all types of work environments:

The senior executive whose fraudulent dealings bring down an entire company.

The brilliant surgeon who yells and throws instruments, driving away qualified staff.

The top salesperson who makes sexual or racial comments and retaliates against those who complain about it.

Organizational "big shots" make headlines. And when their behavior crosses the line into bullying, abuse, or other outrageous conduct, the damage can be far-reaching.

In Teaching Big Shots to Behave and Other Human Resource Challenges, Stephen Paskoff shares anecdotes and experiences from more than 25 years of helping build lawful, professional workplaces, and uses easy-to-apply, highly relevant lessons to help organizations align employee behavior with their mission, vision, and values. The book offers a practical blueprint for creating an organization where productivity, excellence, and a mutual commitment to lawful behavior flourish.
