The book is largely common sense, but apparently people need permission to exercise common sense these days (either that or it's so seldom used that people no longer recognize it for what it is.) Basically, don't hire people who are going to create negativity in the workplace. If you've already got them, get rid of them. Watch your own behavior to make sure you aren't one of those who should be gotten rid of.

Of course, common sense isn't always politically correct, so it's going to be a long time before this can be widely implemented.
