People Styles at Work and Beyond: Making Bad Relationships Good and Good Relationships Better

As cofounders of the leadership coaching and training firm Ridge Associates, authors Robert Bolton and Dorothy Grover teach that good interpersonal communication is very important to getting things done.

In this comprehensive and practical guide, they offer a proven method for understanding the key behavioral styles of those around you (including your own) and give an explanation for how you’ll leverage the strengths and weaknesses of each to relate to others more winsomely.

People Styles at Work . . . and Beyond teaches you how to:

• recognize how they come across to other coworkers;
• read others’ body language and behavior to identify the best how one can work with them;
• make small adjustments if you want to dramatically increase the quality and productivity of their interactions;
• find common ground with different people whilst retaining their individuality;
• relate less defensively and more effectively no matter how others act.

At work, at home, and even whilst you’re out running errands, your ability to relate to others affects how well you get things done. This book provides a self-assessment to decide which style you are and then uses that information to gauge how you must interact with others.

Now including all new material on personal relationships, parenting, and more, People Styles at Work . . . and Beyond is the ultimate how-to guide that will let you avoid conflicts and fortify important relationships.
