True Partnership: Revolutionary Thinking about Relating to Others
International trainer and consultant Carl Zaiss says too many of us approach the various key relationships we develop throughout our lives, be they at work or at home, with a mindset that actually hinders our chances for success. InTrue Partnershiphe advances the notion that we can better realize our goals by positively redefining the way we see, and act toward, everyone with whom we become associated. Utilizing principles adopted from the new quantum model in physics, Zaiss proposes a similarly interrelated behavioral framework for completely refashioning how we initially engage and later associate with all of those involved--eventually moving us far beyond the "shallow and simplistic" reality prevalent in most of such unions today. The bulk of the book delves further into the four tenets that support his fresh method for relating to others: connecting "as integral parts of a system," communicating "through our speaking and our listening," expanding "access to different perceptions about every situation," and observing "through the lens of our own personal history." Ultimately, as Zaiss suggests, this "paradigm-altering approach" to changing the quality of our relationships could very well open "the door to new opportunities" that we may not now even know exist.--Howard Rothman
