About the Book

Working With The Enemy is, quite simply, for people who have been feeling 'under attack' and want to do something about it, once and for all. Showing you how to turn around 'enemy' situations so that you can take control, it includes 10 essential survival strategies, descriptions of the 15 toughest types of enemy and tips on how to transform your enemy situation. The reader will be able to recognize how exactly they came to find these 'enemies' to be 'really difficult', deal with them and nip future situations in the bud before they become 'difficult'. Working With The Enemy treats difficult situations in a matter-of-fact way and the many case studies, tips, techniques and strategies will help you to unstick yourself when you've been feeling very stuck.
