Publisher's summary

Interacting with people at work can be one of life’s greatest joys—and greatest frustrations. Some coworkers never trust us to do our jobs, or never respond to requests for information, or waste our time with dozens of unnecessary emails. The cost: our work results and personal sanity.

How can you approach workplace interactions with more empathy and less resentment? How can you become more successful when working with “annoying” or “difficult” coworkers? In How to Work with Anyone, you’ll dive into what psychology, communication, and business can teach you about developing effective, gratifying relationships at work.

Raluca Graebner, an executive coach and expert in interpersonal dynamics, uses real-life examples from clients, colleagues, and herself to help you navigate interpersonal differences and access empathy and compassion. You’ll learn why mindset is the key to any workplace collaboration, how to cultivate trust-filled relationships with coworkers, and how to assert your needs and protect your boundaries. In addition, you’ll build a toolkit to influence effectively and to navigate conflict, as well as to stay centered when triggered by a colleague.

Working with other people starts—and ends—with you. And in that full circle sits this insightful, enriching Audible Original.
