Today brings a new
book I wish was published back when I was early in my career. It’s called, Bosses,
Coworkers, and Building Great Work Relationships. It’s one of four
books in the new Harvard Business Review (HBR) Work Smart Series.
The book includes
adapted content from 20 articles that previously appeared on HBR.org.
“We probably
spend more hours with our coworkers than with anyone else. So even if they’re
not all perfect, it’s worth it to build connections that will provide you with support,
help you network and learn, and keep your career moving forward,” shares HBR.
“This book helps
readers make so-so work relationships better, keep the bad ones from bringing
them down, and help them build lasting connections with incredible people.”
HBR adds that the
book includes chapter takeaways and dozens of resources so that you can go
beyond the book to engage in the media (video, audio, etc.) you learn from best.
As you read Bosses,
Coworkers and Building Great Work Relationships, you will discover:
- How to talk to
your boss about your career development. - How to deal
with a jealous manager. - The best way to have a tough conversation with your boss.
- How to build
trust within a team. - What to do when
you become your friend’s boss. - How to
strengthen your network when you are just starting out. - The difference
between a mentor and a sponsor. - The right way
to find a mentor. - How do you connect with people and make real friends at work.
Thank you to
the book’s publisher for sending me an advance copy of the book.
