Book excerpt: As cofounders of the leadership coaching and training firm Ridge Associates, authors Robert Bolton and Dorothy Grover teach that good interpersonal communication is essential 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 explain how you can leverage the strengths and weaknesses of each to relate to others--even the most difficult of coworkers--more winsomely. People Styles at Work . . . and Beyond does this by offering a self-assessment to determine which style you are and then uses that information to teach readers how to: recognize how they come across to other coworkers; read others' body language and behavior to identify the best ways to work with them; make small adjustments that will dramatically increase the quality and productivity of their interactions; find common ground with different people while retaining their individuality; relate less defensively and more effectively no matter how others act At work, at home, and even while you're out running errands, your ability to relate to others affects how well you get things done. Now including all new material on personal relationships, parenting, and more, this is the ultimate how-to can help any reader avoid conflicts and enhance important relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Flatter organizations, decentralized authority, changing technology, obsolete skills, downsizing, retraining, outplacement - these are common features of today's business environment. Against such a background, success depends increasingly on the personal credibility of individual managers. In this timely book, Terry Gillen explains how an assertive style of management can dramatically improve effectiveness. He sets out the principles and benefits of assertive behaviour and shows how to apply assertiveness techniques in everyday management situations." "Part I places assertiveness in the context of the modern manager's job, illustrates the three main types of behaviour and describes a method of harnessing emotional energy to ensure the desired results." "Part II shows how to handle a range of management problems, including aggressive bosses or colleagues, receiving/giving criticism, disciplining staff, resolving conflict and controlling stress. Each chapter contains examples of the particular problem, guidance on how to deal with it assertively and a summary for rapid reference." "This is above all a practical book. Do you, asks the author, want to be the kind of manager who motivates his or her team to achieve their objectives, inspires loyalty in subordinates, earns the respect of colleagues, is held in high esteem by senior management, feels self-confident at work?" "If so, you are ready to benefit from developing your assertiveness - with Terry Gillen's help."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
