How to Get on With Your Colleagues: A guide to better collaboration

The most difficult aspect of work has nothing to do with profitability or deadlines or competition. It has to do with the challenges of dealing, on an ongoing basis, with that often amazing but always complicated entity known as the colleague. Our colleagues can be the sources of our greatest joys and triumphs: they compensate for our weaknesses, enlarge our strengths, and aggregate our energies. However, working successfully around others is neither intuitive nor simple: it requires us to communicate effectively, to understand our own minds and blind spots, to master our emotions, and to see the world from other people’s perspectives. This book compresses The School of Life's learning into a series of lessons on workplace psychology. The result is an essential guide to more profitable, harmonious, and happier organizations.
