This week I welcome Pete Havel to the show. Pete is the bestselling author of the book The Arsonist in the Office: Fireproofing Your Life Against Toxic Coworkers, Bosses, Employees, and Cultures. His book is a survival guide for enduring the toxic workplace (and toxic people) and a call to action for a bold new approach to addressing tough issues within your company.
If you have ever led an organization or participated on a team and felt completely frustrated by the sabotage of another colleague, leader, or even client, his book is for you.
Pete Havel is an author, speaker, trainer, and consultant on the issue that makes or breaks cultures and careers: workplace culture. After spending much of his career in politics and lobbyist for top business organizations, he joined ‘The Firm’, a fictionalized company with a broken culture, corrupted leadership, and polluted values.
He’s turned his experience, the things he learned, and meticulous research into ‘The Arsonist In The Office’, a provocative, compelling, and insightful book that teaches leaders, managers, and everyday employees how to deal with toxic people, broken cultures, out of control HR operations, office politics, and bad behavior.
Pete’s clients include Fortune 500 companies, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, small businesses, churches, and nonprofits.
