THE BOOK
Psychopaths, we recently
read, drink G&T and black
coffee. It’s to do with
a yearning for bitterness,
according to some uni boffins.
Well, in that case – there’s a
wealth of them working around
us on a daily basis, which is
why this new tome from David
Gillespie comes in handy –
outing ways to identify those
who too easily infiltrate
organisations and affect
a workplace, and offering
ways to deal with toxic types
who are often attached to
positions of power.

THE APP
Requesting external meetings
and opportunities to Skype
can be a hassle given the
back-and-forth emails
often needed to agree upon
a convenient time for all
parties. That’s why we’re fans
of Calendly – simply email
a link and have scheduling
instantly align with what you’ve
already got in play (beyond
that unforeseen late lunch).
