Works Well with Others

Ross McCammon made an incredible and unexpected transition ten years ago from working at an in-flight magazine in suburban Dallas to landing his dream job at Esquire in New York. What followed was a period of almost crippling anxiety and awkwardness, interspersed with minor moments of professional glory, as McCammon learned how to navigate the workplace while feeling completely unprepared for success in his new career.

Works Well with Others chronicles McCammon's "relentlessly funny and soberingly insightful"* journey from impostor to authority, revealing the workplace for what it is: an often absurd landscape of ego and fear guided by social rules that no one ever discusses. McCammon draws on his own experiences at the magazine to offer advice on everything from firm handshakes to elevator small talk to dealing with jerks and underminers. Here's an inspiring new way of looking at your job, your career, and success itself; an approachable guide for those of you who are smart, talented, and ambitious but aren't well-"leveraged" and don't feel prepared for success... or know what to do once we've achieved it.
