This book is great advice on how to identify toxic behaviors in the workplace, and how to refocus to make high-quality connections. The strategies in this book are great start to renew the culture in an organization.
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2014
Dutton presents strategies for building positive connections at work that are easy to generalize to challenges in college and grad school and in our personal lives. I especially liked her chapters on Task Enabling and Corrosive Communications. This book is a must read for most of us.

Not any new information. I've heard it all in other business/leadership books. Basic EQ philosophies.
