Target Audience:

Anyone who manages -- or expects to manage -- staff, but is having problems (or anticipates them) with people who, while not breaking any rules, drag down performance by placing their own agendas too far ahead of the team's goals.

No prior knowledge or experience is needed, although some experience of managing people will assist greatly in identifying the personality types we discuss.
