Synopsis:

Frost argues that managers must work to institutionalize compassion if they want to avoid the debilitating effects of pain on performance. He illustrates how managers can recognize and support toxin handlers--and importantly, what they must learn from these individuals in order to take on the critical role of emotional management themselves.

Synopsis:

A guide to managing emotional pain at work to improve performance. Based on research and examples, it discusses why emotions matter in the workplace, and shows how organizations can manage emotions and institutionalise compassion as part of their company culture to improve results.
