Creating Cooperative and Collaborative Work Relationships by author Wesley Donahue is an ultimate guide for the bosses of the decade. This is an all-inclusive manual discussing various paradigms of supervising employees and bringing the best out of them. The right leadership can boost productivity levels within no time. It is a predicament for boss-employee relationships, that stand above materialistic benefits and finances. Ensuring a good rapport, constant feedback loops, stress-busting, and fraternizing subordinates go a long way. Authority is not in dictating, but in growing together. This book is a perfect blend of tips that’ll turn you into an accountable leader. If you’re someone who’s interested in understanding the workspace dynamics, this book will definitely prove to be your go-to read. With changing social styles, there comes a need of tackling issues differently and this book will make it easier for you!

Another fine workbook in the series
From identifying constructive workplace relationships to minimizing workplace stress, ten concepts are taught in this workbook, all focused on teaching you as the leader how to build better, authentic relationships with your employees to boost their involvement and productivity as well as lessen your turn over rate. Even though their is a wealth of knowledge in this workbook, it it quick to read. The length of time it will take you is longer if you truly apply yourself to implementing the lessons. Think of this book s a supplemental skill course you can use to hone your professional skills. I found the information to be current, accurate and recognized some features from what I am currently learning in college in my MBA program, so I know this book is legitimate. Very well done nd an excellent Resource.

Wesley Donahue is the author of a series of books called Competency-Based Workbooks for Structured Learning. There are 12 books that are meant to help their readers with issues in the workplace. In this case, Creating Cooperative and Collaborative Work Relationships is book number 6. In this phase, Donahue explains the differences between a good boos and the type of leader everyone wants around.
I really liked this book. I believe it is important to treat people like humans and not numbers, especially in the workplace, and with this reading, I was able to learn more and understand the approach I can have with someone if we are just kind. Respect is the number one key when it comes to laying a foundation for a proper relationship and Donahue is here to teach exactly that. I recommend this to anyone in a leader or higher rank.

In this short and creative book, Donahue puts emphasis on the creation of a culture of trust by pushing the envelope of transparency in communication and collaboration in work relationships.
Both leaders and employees can benefit from this narrative. The author highlights the main characteristics a good boss should have, by fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and decentralizing decision making.
Similarly, unlocking the true potential of the employees becomes easier after reading this book.
Some colorful charts and graphs back up everything the author is putting forward here and this helps the reading and understanding process a lot.
This book offers valuable insights for seeking to realize the aspirations to grow faster.
