Immediate Release
August, 2003

As a result of writing Fallback Position I was asked to speak to a national conference on Profiling, Predicting, and Preventing Workplace Violence, so I researched the latest in the subject and have become something of an expert on the subject, presenting at several other venues since.  The program involves these elements:

  • 12 Early Warning Signs of Workplace Violence
  • 10 Risk Factors
  • 20 Common Characteristics of Workforce Violence Perpetrators
  • Top 6 Warning Signs
  • 5 Security Measures to Take
  • 5 Ways to Resolve Conflict
  • The 3 Types of Discipline
  • 5 Steps to Discipline Without Punishment
  • 8 Abilities to Judge Performance
  • 8 Types of Anger that Lead to Conflict
  • 4 Key Trends in Human Resources
  • 7 Steps to Fair and Sensitive Treatment
  • 10 Steps to Proper Termination               
  • 3 Keys to a Successful Termination Meeting

There have been 18 killings a year in workplaces since 1980.  The key to workplace violence is a feeling of being wronged by the organization.  Usually by the way the employee is fired.

9 Million are Currently Out of Work

Its a useful book for anyone who doesn’t own their own company.  When signing it at the Book Expo Fair in Los Angeles in June, it got terrific reviews for being timely.

Why not?  In the world of work today, 2.5 million people have been laid off the past two years—575,000 since January.  9 million are currently out of work.  Of those who still have jobs, 75% are in industries undergoing what’s called “creative deconstruction,” outsourcing jobs, replacing with technology, and sending jobs overseas to India, China, Mexico.  Those industries are Airline-related, Communications, Finance, Manufacturing of Electronics, and Technology. 

Workers in all those areas are at risk.

Government workers likewise are undergoing creative deconstruction.  The economy, tax cuts, terrorism--all reduced the revenues of cities, counties, and states.  Layoffs abound.
