The PITA Principle: How to Work with and Avoid Becoming a Pain in the Ass

Orndorff and Clark team up for some stylistic, yet appropriate and useful writing. As a young person having to deal with managing others, the PITA Principle is extremely relevant. The varying types of PITAs hit home the characteristics of all the different situations and people in the workplace. I found myself cracking a smile as I related different types of PITAs to people I work with on a daily basis. In addition I found myself cracking up laughing as I read the characteristics of PITAs that hit home in my own personality and managing style. This book doesn't just point out problems; it offers ways to help solve them. I also liked that it didn't go too far, in that it did not claim there was a sure fire solution to dealing with this problem. The PITA Principle clearly identifies problem characteristics, and uses real world examples as well as strategies to deal with the difficult nature of these traits. In many businesses, the varying PITAs can be a major disruption. Lucky for us, the doctors (orndorff and clark) are in to offer the remedy.
