More About Harmony at Work
Professional Relationships Are Like Music
These days, it’s not enough to be brilliant, driven, and technically skilled. Success in business and in life is defined more broadly if you want to hit the high notes. You need meaningful experiences, solid people skills, and strong contacts. The rules for leaders and their team members have changed. Employers aren’t satisfied with you merely hitting or even exceeding your goals. They want you to have a team of people who would run through walls for you. You need emotional intelligence to work together effectively with diverse personalities, with people who often come from many different cultures and may be located in different cities.
Human Relationships Are Complex
They are rarely static, so that our attempts to control and tame them may seem elusive. What worked with one person may backfire with the next. What succeeded yesterday might completely fail tomorrow. Without a big-picture view of the key relationships in our lives, we are tempted to focus only on immediate problems and short-term solutions. We are reluctant to examine the dynamics of our interactions or the underlying cause of repeated frustrations.
Learn How to Harmonize
Harmony at Work defines six stages through which most relationships evolve. By understanding and anticipating the characteristics of every stage, you are better positioned to know how to approach the challenges that may emerge for each one.
