Real organizations and real people have real challenges that require:

1) real solutions and

The biggest obstacles in getting to these solutions and conversations are the behaviors and actions of certain people who might be working for you -- or with you -- right now.

Their thin skins and adversity to accountability make the workplace increasingly litigious, dull and notoriously unproductive.

Consider the state of meetings and training sessions.

The professional losers shut meetings and training down by complaining about every suggestion without offering alternatives. They roll their eyes or totally shut down when the spotlight isn't on them. They huff and puff when people attempt to engage in meaningful conversations. Their blood boils when they don't get their way or even worse, when someone presents an idea that is in opposition to "the way we've always done it."

What happens then?

We begin evaluating our words or ideas for fear of someone being offended. We end up wasting valuable meeting and training time walking on eggshells, coddling people and sugar coating everything.

In the end, we walk away frustrated.

We start wishing that those around us could be professional and mature enough to be honest and direct. Is it so wrong to actually getting something accomplished so that we can go home and have a life?

The professional losers have plenty of tools elsewhere too.

Some create policies to insulate their outdated ways of thinking. Others use dogma. Some give lip service while plotting passive aggressive mays to sabotage your success. Still others get hostile and often raise their voices aggressively hoping that no one will realize that they're really saying nothing at all.

Most of these individuals would rather complain about what's wrong than actually do something to improve it. They cry foul at anything or anyone who suggests that people who don't contribute, participate, share ideas, give 100% and come to work with a positive attitude should face consequences.

The presence of jerks, whiners and professional losers costs you money.

They increase the time it takes to get things done. The make it hard to trust, communicate and maintain a hostile-free environment. They suffocate creativity, productivity, and customer loyalty. They make it hard for managers, marketers and other trainers to do their jobs. They give good employees zero reason to stick around.

Take back the workplace by using tools and techniques of your own.
