About the Author

Author Pete Havel, the master of dealing with difficult personalities from his career in business and politics, tells his story of working in perhaps the nation’s most toxic workplace. An organization where logic, ethics, and policy took a backseat to fear of an employee so toxic they determined they could not fire the person without creating more problems. His career can be explained by saying he knows how to say complicated things to even more complicated people and get along well with people who don’t agree with a word he says. Serving in roles as a lobbyist for some of the most powerful organizations in America, a strategic communications executive for top firms, a political consultant, and a local chamber of commerce president, Pete is an expert in telling a story and bringing people together. The experience he shares in The Arsonist in the Office and the hands-on knowledge he gained will help those who work with toxic, destructive people and corrupted cultures. Born and raised in Massachusetts and now living in Dallas, Texas, Pete enjoys spending time with his family and friends, and cheering on his beloved Boston Red Sox.
