Cut through the "mush" to sustain and improve the quality of your partnerships at work.

Gervase R. Bushe named one of HR Magazine's Most Influential Thinkers 2016

What happened to that win-win partnership with your boss, colleage, or direct report that suddenly dissolved into mistrust and suspision? Despite your best intentions, how did hidden agendas, unresolved conflicts, and miscommunication get in the way?

With new research, fresh insight, and up-to-date examples of what it takes to collaborativelyy organize and sustain healthy relationships at work, this newly revised edition of Clear Leadership tackles these issues head-on. Building on the powerful concepts that made the first edition such a success, Gervase Bushe explains why even the most promising partnerships get derailed and what you can do about it.
