If you have relationships (and unless you live in a cave somewhere (which would mean no internet, which would mean you wouldn't be reading this) you should have some relationships) this book is a must read. It is not just a book for "leaders".....it is a book for everyone! There are an endless number of books on leadership, relationships, communication, conflict resolution, etc, but this book might just be the best of them all. It is the legs to "Love thy neighbor as thyself....or...as I have loved you." I often read that verse and say, "ok, but how do I do that?" This book is the how (obviously not an exhaustive how, but extremely helpful). It opens your eyes to the number one issue in relational conflict....YOU! Now, I realize that most people would balk at that because the last thing we want is to know that we are the problem...we want books on how to fix the other person, but that is not helpful to us. The book explains things in a way that opens your eyes to the reality that most of the time the way we handle things ends up fostering in the other person the very thing we are warring against to begin with. Go ahead....go buy the book. Read it! You will see what I am talking about.
