Thomas Erikson is a Swedish behavioral expert, active lecturer, and bestselling author. For more than twenty years he has been traveling all over Europe delivering lectures and seminars to executives and managers at a wide range of companies, including IKEA, Coca Cola, Microsoft, and Volvo.
For over twenty years Thomas has helped people understand themselves and their surroundings. It started with a leadership training programme for executives around Sweden. But somewhere on his journey he realised that the boss is not the only one that could benefit from reflecting over how they communicate and connect with colleagues and fellow human beings. Today Thomas speak to and for anyone that wants to learn more about themselves and others.
His series of books are titled Surrounded by idiots, Surrounded by psychopaths, Surrounded by bad bosses, Surrounded by setbacks and the latest installment Surrounded by narcissists. Surrounded by idiots, one of Sweden’s (and the world’s) best-selling non-fiction and popular science books, has been translated to over 40 languages.
Surrounded by Idiots is an international phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. It offers a simple, yet ground-breaking method for assessing the personalities of people we communicate with – in and out of the office – based on four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), and provides insights into how we can adjust the way we speak and share information.
Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple tricks on body language, improving written communication, advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or shut up. Packed with ‘aha!’ and ‘oh no!’ moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand and communicate with those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension.
Thomas is convinced you will reach your goals more easily if you improve your understanding of communication and your surroundings. He utilise the DISC-model to highlight different behaviours, where different archetypes of demeanour and communication are categorised as red, green, yellow or blue. The method is no exact science and should not be used as the sole tool to understand your environment. But after training over 4500 executives and over 10 000 salespeople in how to communicate, Thomas know that the tools provided work for people.
The people he meet and work with want to learn more about their own behavioural patterns and improve their ability to navigate through their private and professional life. He hopes that his methods – if you engage with them through books, courses, blog or lectures – spark a curiosity within you that can help you shape the relationships and results that used to feel distant.
Thomas believes in people and he believes in people’s ability to think freely.
Surrounded by Idiots has been a Swedish runaway bestseller since it was first published in 2014. It has sold over 3 million copies worldwide and been translated into 42 languages.
