I'm not here to make work friends. Or am I?
Managers, peers, work friends, mentors, frenemies, annoying people, romantic interests, your boss's boss, and so on. We probably spend more hours with our coworkers than with anyone else. So even if they're not all perfect, it's worth building connections with them that will provide you with support, help you network and learn, and keep your career moving forward.
Bosses, Coworkers, and Building Great Work Relationships is filled with practical advice from HBR experts who can help you answer questions like:
- What's the best way to have a tough conversation with my boss?
- How do I connect with people and make real friends at work?
- When should I opt into (or out of) office politics?
- How can I build a strong professional network?
This book will help you make so-so work relationships better, keep the bad ones from bringing you down, and build lasting connections with incredible people.
Rise faster with quick reads, real-life stories, and expert advice.
