Run with the Bulls without Getting Trampled...

By Ernie A. Cevallos

Most of us spend over fifty percent of our waking hours trying to win in the race of work and climbing the career ladder without being knocked down by events, misguided people, or poor choices. In similar manner, we all know the fate of unskilled runners of the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain. In his new book “Run with the Bulls without Getting Trampled: The Qualities You Need to Stay Out of Harm’s Way and Thrive at Work”, corporate psychologist Tim Irwin, Ph.D., applies the “running with the bulls” metaphor to parallel what unprepared individuals face, and offers sage advice that will help to steer clear of any 1,400 pound corporate charging bull.
