From the performance improvement experts at FranklinCovey - a practical guide to building effective relationships. These 15 proven practices are for anyone, in any organization, that is interested in creating a competitive advantage. (Photo: Business Wire) In Get Better, Davis relies upon his decades of experience in human resources and talent development to make the compelling case that while an organization’s greatest assets are its people, it’s the nature of the relationships among its people that is the most significant driver of professional and personal effectiveness and business outcomes. In the end, it’s the quality of the relationships that creates the workplace culture that either becomes an organization’s ultimate competitive advantage, or can be its most difficult challenge. Ideal for professionals at all levels, from intern to CEO, Get Better draws upon Davis’ 30 years of experience in leading, observing, and coaching individuals and teams. It offers real-world stories and relatable experiences to illustrate the timely lessons and take-aways for achieving the most effective relationships. Shared in his engaging, witty style, the proven principles and practices Davis espouses influence readers to take ownership of their work, improve the quality of their interactions with others, and master the skills of effective relationships at work and at home. Throughout Get Better, Davis identifies the most common relationship pitfalls that negatively affect personal careers and organizational results. He also shares 15 key practices for building effective work relationships, and suggests that readers begin by focusing on their own behavior in order to get better as team members and individuals. Davis says, “While it’s human nature to look at others and determine what they need to do differently, the most effective people in the world are those who start with themselves. Key influencers look in the mirror every day and ask themselves ‘what do I need to change?’ or ‘what do I need to model differently.’”
Davis begins each chapter in Get Better with a thought-provoking question and a powerful story, followed by meaningful content, which allows readers to discover and experience key principles and concepts of effectiveness. He also offers readers “how to” applications at the end of each practice so they can start to implement the practice right away. Davis said, “You can read this book from front to back, or simply scan the question at the beginning of each practice to identify a timely or deeply felt relationship challenge and read that chapter first. What is most important, is that you approach the book with an open heart and mind, and consider the possibility that the only way to truly get better with others is to begin with yourself. It’s been my experience that doing so, will pay benefits in practically every area of your life.” About the Author
