When Teams Break Down Hardback - 2008 - 1st Edition
by McLain Smith, Diana
How relationships among leadersdetermine the success or failure ofany organization
No one would dispute the idea that relationshipsmatter in business. Yet despite their obvious importance,they remain largely a mystery. Why do someconflicts get resolved quickly while others lead to permanentanimosity? Why do some relationships growstronger over time, others more fragile?
Diana McLain Smith argues that most of us nevereven think about our relationships, at least not untilthey get into trouble and by then it may be too late.Convinced that others have attitude problems, we focuson getting them to change. But that never works; it justconvinces our colleagues that we're the source of theproblem. What we need to change, Smith argues, arethe patterns of interaction between us.
Smith shows us how to build work relationshipsthat are flexible and strong enough to survive thetoughest challenges. She draws on fascinating casestudies, especially the Steve Jobs/John Sculley meltdown,which nearly destroyed Apple in the 1980s.
This book will break the myth that relationshipsare too mysterious to decode and too difficult tochange. It offers powerful tools that can help anyone,from new recruits to CEOs.
