Improving Peer Relationships: Achieving Results Informally (Crisp Fifty-Minute Series)

Rating:
Summary: Good idea - not delivered
Review: The book starts with a viewpoint that seems to be one of a managerial nature but confusingly changes to more of a peer-to-peer arrangement later. This makes it difficult to determine the best way to implement any strategies offered. There is extensive use of over simplified examples that the author consistently fails to develop into an accurate representation of the content being presented. Because of this, there seems to be little relevance between the book and actual experiences. Of course, if you are new to the workforce and lack a solid background in dealing with others they may have value but otherwise I would recommend against this book. As for the ease of applying the information in the real world, there is a lack of concrete data so this does not seem to be very viable.

After completing the book I find that I have very little that I can use in improving my own peer relationships and I would not use this for training purposes.
