Better Business Relationships

Occasionally you come across books that are timely, utterly important and overdue. This book is one of them. Tasso holds the reader's interest by brilliantly presenting a persuasive argument that oscillates between the basics of psychology and selling. The importance of relationships in business is vital. Better Business Relationships is packed with useful advice which is well written and remarkably thoughtful. -- Clive Lewis OBE * DL Business Psychologist; CEO Globis Mediation Group * Better Business Relationships is a book for our time. Tasso captures a moment in our evolution where we could all do with refocusing back on what really matters, people. To discover your real self is the key to unlocking and developing engaging relationships with others. This book makes you realise that, in an era driven by win-lose outcomes, mobile connectivity, advancing new tech, big data and constant automation, just how much we need to nurture and hold onto the value of building enduring, collaborative relationships. Ultimately, in business and in many ways life itself, people and their relationships lead to better achievements and results. Perhaps we stand accused today of forgetting this, so the timely reminder, advice and tips are of value to us all and especially those of us in leadership roles who would do well to take note. Who knows, the next decade may even see a return to human kindness, the essence of relationships. -- Dr Sean Tompkins D Phil (Hons), D Eng (Hons) * Global CEO, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors * Business leaders must be able to build real and meaningful connections with their clients, teams and communities – otherwise, are they really leaders? Today, there is definitely a lower tolerance for business leaders without a strong helping of EQ because of the demands of increasingly non-linear, global and network-based markets – you have to be able to work across boundaries and deal with diversity. In this context, Better Business Relationships is a timely, thought-provoking and engaging read. -- Paul J English * Global Leader, Markets & Clients, Grant Thornton * This book is an engaging read, written in a no nonsense style and packed with helpful, practical tools and tips for building and maintaining effective business relationships. -- Dr Kathryn Waddington * Course Leader MSc Business Psychology, University of Westminster *
