RTÉ Radio 1 - Today With Pat Kenny - Oliver James - psychologist and author (11/2/13)

Office Politics -- How to Thrive in a World of Lying, Backstabbing and Dirty Tricks
If you feel your colleagues are out to get you, it turns out you could be right. A study of office politics suggests that workplaces are a jungle of awkward personalities vying for domination.
Oliver James is a psychologist, bestselling author and broadcaster and has identified three types of dysfunctional personalities among white collar workers: psychopath, Machiavellian, and narcissist. These are the colleagues who have no compunction about trampling over others, or like nothing more than to plot and scheme, or who drone on endlessly about themselves. However there is hope as he joins me in studio today to talk to me about how you can not only overcome this difficult environment but thrive in it in Office Politics -- How to Thrive in a World of Lying, Backstabbing and Dirty Tricks.
