Work Place survival Sep 12, 2008
By Teresa Bianco
"LOL"
This is a great book written in an amusing way for people who are fed up dealing with coworkers. I found it a very insightful book... not too intense... not too complicated... but informative enough to make it interesting and worthwhile. Dead Wood provided me with a chance to look at my co-workers in a different light and helped alleviate some of the workplace frustration.
I would highly recommend this book for those who work in corporate America or any workplace that includes other people and want to survive with both a paycheck and their sanity.
Good Read Aug 04, 2008
By Chuck Sackett
Holy Crap! The first reading of this book was a killer. As an old guy with far more memories than futures I found myself stopping every few pages and reminiscing about people I have known matching each section's descriptive type. To make it worse, I reviewed how I met each challenge. It wasn't pretty. And, it was an exhausting exercise.
The second reading, two nights in my favorite chair, was thoroughly enjoyable as I highlighted the concepts and smiled as I began to decipher Dr. Khoury's wacky humor and appreciate his intellect.
Dead Wood now sits in the "ready reference" section of my bookshelves to be used as I encounter the dead woods of the future. Great read. Great reference. I think this old dog has learned some new tricks.

Dr. Khoury did a wonderful job describing "Deadwood" in the workplace. I found the book to be wonderfully witty and entertaining. Now when I go to work I attach real people to the characters in the book, makes for a fun day! Bravo Dr. Khoury!
There IS hope in the workplace Jul 09, 2008
By Harlene Factor
Dr. Khoury has written a wry, witty and very readable treatise on a life condition all too prevalent in today's America. In his own inimitable and entertaining fashion, he successfully presents a careful and systematic analysis of how the various psychological motivations that determine a person's work ethic can be used for the greater good.
I have to admit that, in the beginning, I was very skeptical about Dr. Khoury's theory that Mr./Ms. Deadwood could be recast, remolded, recreated, transformed or redeemed. Mea culpa.

I thought "Dead Wood" was entertaining, educational and enlightening. Mr. Khoury has an excellent in sight into what really goes on in todays work force. Lets face it, no matter where you work or what type of work you do we are all have to deal with dead wood each and every day. This book supplies you with skills and advise you will need to deal with and over come these problems. As a supervisor I especially enjoyed Chapter 12 - The 10 commandments!!! This is a must read for anybody who has a job!
