In Leading Relationships: Build Meaningful Connections, Eliminate Conflict, and Radically Improve Engagement, renowned leadership mentor and entrepreneur Steve McClatchy delivers a practical and insightful discussion of how to build trust and confidence between and among your colleagues. You'll learn how to examine what makes your best relationships so great, manage and develop relationships you did not choose, and how to lead at the highest levels of maturity in all your personal and professional relationships. McClatchy's essential Five Levels of Maturity relationship framework will increase your leadership influence as you dissect each level, including recognizing and acknowledging people, exchanging facts and honoring agreements, navigating differing opinions, playing to strengths and working around weaknesses, and understanding what motivates us. Leading Relationships shows you how to hold people accountable while building loyalty, give feedback that will improve performance, and set clear expectations that will improve teamwork. This book will also show you how to manage egos, immaturity, and games like silent treatment and ghosting between team members, so you can build a culture of respect, high trust, and high performance that will increase engagement and retain your top talent. An essential workplace survival handbook for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders, Leading Relationships is also a can't-miss guide for human resources professionals, mediators, negotiators, professionals, and consultants who serve companies of all sizes, and anyone else who hopes to improve the way they lead and cooperate with others.
