London, UK — [June 10, 2025] — With toxic bosses and burnout dominating workplace headlines, a new book aims to arm employees with practical, field-tested strategies for surviving—and thriving—under any kind of boss. Practical Wisdom @ Workplace, by Scott James (a pen name), delivers a blunt, actionable playbook for navigating modern management realities.
After two decades in data-driven roles and leadership positions, James set out to decode why good employees quit, what really drives office churn, and—most importantly—what actually works in the real world. The book identifies eight recurring “boss types” (from micromanagers to absentee leaders to true mentors) and offers employees discreet, actionable tactics for each one.
“Most career advice is theoretical or one-size-fits-all, but real workplaces are messy, and every boss is different. My goal was to give employees a practical, no-fluff playbook—built from real-world experience, not just classroom theory,” says James.
The book has already drawn praise from veteran editors:
“Very good—thoroughly enjoyed it and found myself matching the various traits to bosses/clients I have worked for in my 40+ years of working! And each one accurate to a tee… I do feel it’s a good piece of work.” — Veteran UK editor
