In one study conducted (Kusy & Holloway, 2009), a whopping 94% of over 400 leaders reported dealing with the devastation caused by these chameleons who “knock down but kiss up.” In Why I Don’t Work Here Anymore, I present the proactive solutions to prevent these individuals from ever entering your organization, along with the reactive ways to deal with them once they’re there.
