Trading personal and family happiness for career success is no longer compatible with the new ethic of our times. But where is the right balance and how do you get there? Relationship Capital argues that acceptable corporate performance cannot be sustained without built-in notions of personal satisfaction and wellbeing. While acknowledging that an organisation's true wealth is its human capital, the author explains that it is the space between people - the health of our relationships - that determines our business success and quality of life. And these relationships are played out in the everyday corporate realities of meetings, delegating tasks, lines of reporting and performance management.
Using dialogue from real coaching sessions, case studies, and an innovative role-playing technique called the Play of Life, Relationship Capital demonstrates how to: *Live with busy working partners *Tackle destructive corporate cultures *Relate effectively at work and at home *Avoid burnout *Instigate Strategic Relationship Management *Live 'for' something, not 'against' it *Address issues facing business women Relationship Capital is a timely and practical exploration of what it means to be truly successful.
