A Detox Manual for High-Performance Management
Her name is Pat. She is brilliant, dedicated, and loyal. She’s the colleague everyone admires. She was promised a great career, and she believed it. But she is also the one the company fails to truly value, the one praised behind closed doors and told, “You should speak up more,” even as she is constantly interrupted.
In the corporate world, the rules of the game are blurry, and often rigged. From one project to the next, Pat runs into contradictory demands, power plays, and a job that loses its meaning as bureaucratic processes multiply. They praise her… then sideline her. They demand ever more, giving nothing in return. A professional destiny slowly undermined by the system… until she finally takes it back into her own hands.
Gaëlle Roudaut takes a biting look behind the scenes of the corporate world and a culture obsessed with endless performance, one that breeds increasingly toxic management. It explores what happens when work loses its purpose, when true competence becomes a threat, and when egos overshadow the collective goal.
Drawing on real-life situations and insights from the social sciences, this narrative sheds light on the hidden workings of a system. It aims to help managers move beyond being unwitting victims, bystanders, or perpetrators, and instead empower them to act at their own level through practical, actionable guidance.
READERSHIP: Managers, HR professionals, and business leaders. Students in business schools or on university programs focusing on economics and management.
