What's Your Impact On Business: The Sherpa Guide to Business, Behavior and You

by Brenda Corbett

When people know what to do and get along well, their teams and organizations thrive and prosper. People are hired for what they can do, but it’s the way they act that ultimately completes the picture. Only positive skills and positive behavior create a positive impact on business (IOB). Every workplace has its share of bad business people talk too much, avoid confrontation, or stay aloof, all of which hurts productivity. Bad behavior may seem natural to offenders, but it is costly for organizations and teams. Brenda Corbett and Rubi Ho, leading educators in executive coaching, have written ‘What’s Your Impact On Business?’ to point out seven bad behaviors in a constructive way. Using engaging stories, readers see what keeps their happiness in the workplace from reaching full potential. In each story, the reader may see someone they work with, or identify a problem in themselves and learn to correct it. Rather than using this book to single out coworkers, Corbett and Ho encourage readers to reflect on their own shortcomings, however uncomfortable they may be to admit. Once the reader has found these behaviors, the book offers ways to correct the behavior and help create a positive impact on business. Finding and fixing bad business behavior may not be easy, but it’s something the modern enterprise must pay attention to.
