Flip’s Tips

Flip’s Tips gives readers an insight into how you can identify, understand and address potential workplace situations and problems.

Flip’s Tips is a series of tips derived from my book, Balanced Effectiveness At Work: How to Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor without Driving Yourself Nuts. In this series, I outline a potential workplace problem or description of a situation, a way to look inside and ask questions of yourself (your frank self-assessment), and my suggestions about how to initiate a change process in this area.
