In seinem Wall-Street-Journal-Bestseller zeigt FranklinCoveys Chief People Officer Todd Davis, dass das größte Kapital einer Organisation nicht ihre Mitarbeiter, sondern die Beziehungen zwischen den Mitarbeitern sind. Diese wiederum sind Ausdruck für die persönliche Effektivität jedes Einzelnen. Letztendlich ist die Fähigkeit der Mitarbeiter, gute Beziehungen aufzubauen und aufrechtzuerhalten, der entscheidende Wettbewerbsvorteil eines Unternehmens. Davis zeigt fünfzehn bewährte Praktiken auf, mit denen einflussreiche Führungskräfte auf jeder Ebene einer Organisation Verantwortung übernehmen, die Qualität der Interaktion mit anderen verbessern und die Fähigkeiten effektiver Beziehungen beherrschen. Dabei stützt sich der Autor auf reale Geschichten aus seiner langjährigen Unternehmenspraxis; Davis‘ dreißigjährige Erfahrung im Beobachten, Führen und Coachen anderer bringt diese Erfahrungen vermittelt durch seinen zugänglichen, einnehmenden Stil zum Leben. Der Autor beschreibt in seinem neuen Buch die häufigsten Beziehungsfallen, die sich negativ auf persönliche Karrieren und organisationsbezogene Ergebnisse auswirken – für Berufstätige auf allen Ebenen der Wirtschaft, im Regierungs- und Bildungssektor, vom Teamleiter bis zum Präsidenten und CEO. Ein praktischer Leitfaden für alle, die sich einen Wettbewerbsvorteil für ihre Organisation verschaffen möchten, indem sie effektive Beziehungen aufbauen – von den Leistungssteigerungsexperten von FranklinCovey.
