Summary:

"The average American worker spends 156 hours a year engaged in moderate-to-intense workplace conflict, or almost a full working month of the year. But what if conflict wasn't so nerve-racking? Because the way we respond to conflict is ingrained in our subcortex, it is predictable. If you can anticipate how someone will react to friction, you can devise a winning game plan. The secret? Knowing which of the five patterns someone is wired to use when smacked by a stressor. How to Get Along with Anyone offers a pragmatic hands-on guide to help you determine your own conflict style and identify those of your coworkers and loves ones. Learn how to foster better communication and more fruitful collaboration. Filled with fun, engaging examples and actionable techniques, How to get Along with Anyone teaches you how to predict and prevent escalating conflict, and gives you the power to nurture stronger and more meaningful relationships with people in your life."-- Adapted from dust jacket flap.
