This book is a great reminder that how we treat others at work really matters. It’s not just about doing the job right, but it’s about working well with people, too. The ideas shared here helped me understand the value of being respectful, empathetic, and clear when communicating.
I liked that it wasn’t too technical or hard to follow. The real-life examples made the points stick, and I found myself reflecting on my own behavior at work. It also gave practical advice for handling difficult situations and building stronger team relationships.
This book is helpful for anyone who wants to improve how they interact in professional spaces. I’ll definitely be applying what I learned to help create a more positive work environment.
