David Gillespie

    David Gillespie, bývalý korporátní právník a spoluzakladatel softwarové společnosti, se po nástupu na rodičovskou dovolenou s šesti dětmi rozhodl prozkoumat důvody své nadváhy. Jeho zjištění o vlivu stravovacích návyků a moderních potravin na zdraví ho šokovala. Gillespieho práce se vyznačuje pronikavým zkoumáním vědeckých poznatků a jejich srozumitelným převyprávěním pro širokou veřejnost. Jeho knihy nabádají k zamyšlení nad složením stravy a jejím dopadem na celkové zdraví, přičemž se nebojí konfrontovat běžné stravovací stereotypy.

      Jsou všude a není před nimi úniku. Pravděpodobnost, že se ve vašem pracovním prostředí vyskytuje nějaký psychopat, je přinejmenším jedna ku dvaceti. Nezachrání vás ani pečující profese nebo neziskový sektor. Lidí bez empatie je mezi námi mnohem víc, než byste čekali. Kromě toho je zpočátku těžké poznat, že jde o psychopaty, protože vás naprosto okouzlí. Jejich pravou povahu prozradí až jejich destruktivní chování. Začnou mikromanažovat vaši práci. Připisují si zásluhy za vaše úspěchy a obviňují vás z vlastních selhání. Navozují atmosféru tajnůstkaření. Zařídí to vždycky tak, aby se nikdy nikdo nedozvěděl celou pravdu. Šikanují a ponižují jednotlivce, zatímco zbytek skupiny dělá, že to nevidí. To všechno podkopává vaši sebedůvěru a ničí důvěru v kolegy. Škody, které takové osoby napáchají, mohou být ničivé nejen pro vás, ale i pro celý tým, firmu nebo společnost, kde pracujete, jelikož narušují dobrou atmosféru a podkopávají týmovou práci – tedy dvě zásadní složky nutné pro úspěch a přežití kolektivu. David Gillespie, australský právník, nás zavede do skrytého světa psychopatů na pracovišti. Popisuje jejich taktiku a důvody jejich úspěchu a poradí vám, jaké strategie můžete využít, abyste před nimi ochránili sebe i svou firmu.
