Navigating the Unwritten Rules of Success
Have you ever panicked about whether to hug or shake hands with a new colleague? Or felt mortified when someone stared at your blindingly white athletic socks while everyone else wore fancy striped ones? These moments of workplace uncertainty happen to everyone. Drawing from 30 years as a communication consultant to global companies, Peter Yawitz delivers practical wisdom with humor and compassion in "Flipflops and Microwaved Fish." Unlike dry corporate manuals, his approach feels like getting advice from a wise mentor who genuinely wants you to succeed - without the eye-rolling that might come from your actual parents. The book has become something of a cult classic among young professionals navigating their early careers, frequently gifted by managers who wish someone had given them similar guidance. Every workplace has its own personality. Some successful businesses operate in unrenovated industrial spaces with casual dress codes, while others thrive in sleek urban offices with polished employees walking on plush carpets. Though environments differ, most share the common goal of achieving success - though how leaders define and pursue it strongly influences the work culture. You'll encounter three challenging communication styles: Direct communicators speak quickly and candidly, preferring immediate information without unnecessary details. Passive communicators apologize excessively, struggle with decisions, and lack confidence. Passive-aggressive communicators avoid direct conflict while sending ambiguous messages. Understanding your company's mission helps you see how your role fits into the larger strategy, especially as traditional 9-to-5 office schedules evolve into more flexible arrangements.
