Top business psychologists Timothy Butler and James Waldroop examine why and how people fail to be as successful as they could be by identifying twelve patterns - The Home Run Hitter, The Mountain Climber, The Early Harvester, The Meritocrat, The Peacekeeper, The Hero, The Rebel, "Mr Spock", The Steamroller, The Chronic Worrier, The Butterfly and The Acrophobic can all be found in most workplaces and all have fatal flaws which curtail their success. Each pattern is explored using real-life examples, descriptions of its signs and symptoms (which differ among various industries and job functions), explanations of frequent causes, and of where and how it is likely to cause problems. Armed with this information readers should be able to recognize the one or two patterns most descriptive of themselves and formulate a strategy for change, as well as recognizing them in fellow workers, and even in customers, in order to work more effectively with others.
