Cain and Abel at Work

Why is it that often many bright, decent, hardworking people don't do as well as their less talented (and less honest) colleagues? Why do these "bad guys" seem to zoom ahead in life? In other words, why do good things happen to bad people? In the Old Testament story that serves as a springboard for this book, Cain killed his brother, Abel, and got away with it! Despite being banished, Cain still managed to marry, have a family, and build a city. Meanwhile, poor Abel was dead. In their dozens of years working in business and politics, Gerry Lange and Todd Domke have discovered that the Cain and Abel principles haven't disappeared -- especially in today's competitive work environment. Lange and Domke offer an invaluable guide for coping with and combating Cain in the workplace. Cain and Abel at Work teaches how to: Identify the Cains before they target you. Know which coworkers are trustworthy ... and which aren't. Win out over Cains without stooping to their level. This book is filled with real-life case studies that illustrate all too clearly how Cains operate in the real world. If anyone has ever stolen your idea or credit for your work, if they've taken advantage of you in any way, you need this book. Cain and Abel at Work is an office survival guide no well-intentioned Abel should be without.

Cain and Abel at Work

How to Overcome Office Politics and the People Who Stand Between You and Success

Why Good Things Happen to Bad People

The Bible tells us that Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain, jealous because God seemed to favor his brother, "rose up against Abel . . . and slew him." As punishment, God banished Cain, so Cain "went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on the East of Eden" where he married and had a son, Enoch.

The moral of the Cain and Abel story seems to be that evil will be discovered and punished. But that's not entirely convincing. After all, Abel was dead, but Cain survived. He not only survived but seems to have done pretty well for himself. He courted and caught a wife and had a son—a nice, supportive, traditional nuclear family—and he also "built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch."

So, it turns out that Cain was the first real estate developer, the Donald Trump of his time. And since Cain built a city and had the power to name it, we might also assume he ended up mayor of Enoch, mak ... read full excerpt from: Cain and Abel at Work ebook
