In today’s workplace, managers’ time is tight, and transactional imperatives abound. A relational mindset seems impossible. Enter What If You Tried This at Work?, which presents a new kind of “how” for managers seeking to expand and enhance their interpersonal management capabilities.

Professor Mark Haskins provides thirty-six short, compelling stories and sound wisdom based on forty years of experience to help managers imagine and pursue a personal blueprint for flexibility, personalization, and exploration. Each vignette focuses on a relational management concept followed by a series of questions to prompt and guide personalized focus for action based on the reader’s different priorities, interests, and schedules.

Relational management becomes a habit when managers are encouraged to be open to the possibilities resident in asking the question “What if I tried this at work?” And so, the transformation begins.
