Books with author Lydia Taylor

An indispensable guide to dealing with challenging, childish boss behavior and building a great career, with laugh- out-loud humor built in. Based on extensive interviews among workers, managers and psychologists, Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant™ draws hilarious but true parallels between toddlers and managers. When under stress, both often have trouble moderating their power, or lose the ability to think rationally. Traits in common include tantrum-throwing, demanding, stubborn, moody, fickle, self-centered, needy and whiny behavior. BADD (Boss Attention Deficit Disorder) is discussed as part of “Short Attention Spans.” There are 20 chapter traits in all, divided into “Bratty” and “Little Lost Lamb” categories, for easy reference, including real anecdotes and many useful tips. When bad bosses run amok in companies, nobody wins. This book shows readers how to build positive relationships with even the most out-of-control boss, and still thrive in your job. The key to success lies in dealing with a Terrible Office Tyrant (or TOT™) much like a parent deals with a troublesome toddler. With true stories and time-tested solutions, this is the perfect guide managing a boss stuck in his Terrible Twos. Taylor takes you behind all the bossy blustering, so that you can focus on getting ahead – and achieve career excellence. Savvy top management will also gain insight on what not to do with their team. They know that Terrible Office Tyrant (TOT) managers may not be in plain sight (they don’t leave juice stains on the hallway carpet!) But they do wreak havoc on the bottom line. A special section helps senior management and Human Resource departments mitigate TOT behavior for a more productive workplace.

Monsters ! Here is a collection of five timeless children's stories. Monsters and things that go bump in the night have been frightening children for ages, but has anyone ever really looked at the whole picture? Are things really as they seem or are these beliefs something we invented without thinking about how it impacts someone else? Inside the pages of this anthology, you will find stories that are sure to open your eyes to what's right and what's wrong when you pass judgment without thinking of one's feelings.From a young boy's discarded toys to a seemingly frightening eggsnatcher that wreaks havoc on those around him, these stories will tug at your heartstrings and will enlighten you as to what happens when you say or do things that you don't really mean. There are consequences to our actions and like young Henry in I Hate These Toys, words really do matter. Or, Lily in Lily Gets A Good Scare, she learns all too well what its like to be frightened by someone she trusts. Lotus Flower and the River Monster details what it must be like when you make assumptions and set out to keep everyone away from your place. Mrs. Snork and The Pigeons and the Eggsnatcher will teach you that just because something seems to be a certain way, doesn't mean that it is. Inside the pages of these stories, you will find stories that teach life lessons to children and adults. They are sure to resonate with all readers and all living things. Taking into account how one feels, will do wonders for you and for the world as a whole.There is beauty in everything and everyone around us, if you just stop to take a moment and let it be.
