What''s the quickest way to ruin a friendship? Do great
friendships have anything in common? Are close friendships in the
workplace such a bad thing?These are just a few of the questions
that #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath asked when he
embarked on a massive study about the impact of friendships. Along
with several leading researchers, Rath pored through the
literature, conducted several experiments, and analyzed more than 8
million interviews from The Gallup Organization''s worldwide
database.His team''s discoveries produced Vital Friends, a book that
challenges long-held assumptions people have about their
relationships. And the team''s landmark discovery - that people who
have a "best friend at work" are seven times as likely to be
engaged in their job - is sure to rattle the structure of
organizations around the world.Drawing on research and case studies
from topics as diverse as management, marriage, and architecture,
Vital Friends reveals what''s common to all truly essential
friendships: a regular focus on what each person is contributing to
the friendship - rather than the all-too-common approach of
expecting one person to be everything.The book includes a unique ID
code that provides access to the Vital Friends Assessment and
website. This groundbreaking test reveals which friends play each
of the eight vital friendship roles in your work and life.Tom
Rath''s fast-paced and inviting storytelling takes a mountain of
important research and makes it remarkably accessible and
applicable. By the time you finish reading Vital Friends, you''ll
see your coworkers, family, friends, and significant other in a
whole new light.
