You, Me, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work (and How to Show Up As One!)

Review\n"Relationships with our colleagues are a key source of engagement and satisfaction, and building strong ones has never been more important, or more challenging. That's why I strongly recommend You, Me, We. It lays out the practices for building an ally mindset, which can make every day you spend at work more rewarding."

"In a world of social isolation, emotional malaise, and political toxicity, this book offers hope. The Ally Mindset (moving from me to we) is not only a set of good ideas, but specific actions that foster relationships. The simplest test of an effective leader is how often people leave the interaction feeling better about themselves. This great book will help make that happen."

Follow this recipe and your work-life (and the work-life of those around you) will change in a big way!"

Ultimately, this book is all about moving from me to we and how to take the first step to turn our colleagues into trusted friends and allies"

But no one knew exactly how to make that happen and the factor was broadly thought to be "inactionable." Finally, we have the answer. You, Me, We shows exactly how you can promote an Ally Mindset throughout your organization and to reap the benefits of doing so. Thanks Morag, Eric and Ruby for this invaluable guide on this essential topic needed now more than ever before."
