I highly recommend this book' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and co-author of Blitzscaling and The Alliance 'I encourage anyone who cares to develop stronger and more meaningful relationships anywhere in their life to read this book' David Rogier, Founder and CEO at MasterClass ________________ David Bradford and Carole Robin taught interpersonal skills to MBA candidates for a combined seventy-five years on their legendary Stanford Graduate School of Business course, "Interpersonal Dynamics". Now, in Connect , they share their time-tested strategies for developing the interpersonal skills that have become fundamental to success at work and in our everyday lives, such as building trust, giving feedback and navigating conflict. Connect shows why relationship-building is crucial to becoming a more effective manager and leader and living a fulfilled life, from highlighting the importance of curiosity and empathy to demonstrating how to break logjams and negotiate boundaries. Filled with research-backed insights, useful concepts and thought-provoking exercises, Connect is an important resource for anyone hoping to build and sustain relationships, providing tools to make relationships robust -- and even exceptional. ________________ WHAT FORMER STUDENTS SAID ABOUT INTERPERSONAL DYNAMICS: ' I can't believe how much I learned about myself and about how others see the world' 'This course changed my life ; it was transformational ' 'I feel so much better equipped to create the kinds of relationships I want in my life' Review: Great book - Absolute gem of a book. Review: 15 percent rule rules the roost - “Connect – Building exceptional relationships with family, friends and colleagues” by David Bradford and Carole Robin is an excellent read. It opens a gateway to exploring and maintaining relationships. Few takeaways include: 1. 15 per cent rule to move 15% from your comfort zone in the learning zone with another by maybe doing the following: a. Being vulnerable, b. Self-disclosure - who goes first? c. Self-realisation 2. Use feedback mechanism effectively to address the behaviour dear and not the intent! 3. Let the emotions flow but own it and target effective implementation by a. Getting the other person to take the feedback seriously. b. Sharing all the issues c. Resolution d. Repair 4. Conditions, where people are more likely to change, are when their resistance to change is lesser than the product of dissatisfaction in seeing the cost of old behaviour, vision to see the benefit of new behaviour and taking the first steps. I recommend this to all who want to improve their relationships with fellow human beings. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #77,863 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #188 in Sociology (Books) #467 in Psychology (Books) #1,164 in Family & Relationships | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 664 Reviews | ## Images ![Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LHJHbgfEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by S***I on 31 May 2025* Absolute gem of a book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 15 percent rule rules the roost *by V***I on 18 January 2023* “Connect – Building exceptional relationships with family, friends and colleagues” by David Bradford and Carole Robin is an excellent read.

Book itself is not great: very transparent high level idea that could be explained as an essay l not a book length ## Frequently Bought Together - Penguin Life Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues - PENGUIN 7 Rules of Power: Surprising - But True - Advice on How to Get Things Done and Advance Your Career - Making Numbers Count: The art and science of communicating numbers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/341469279-connect-building-exceptional-relationships-with-family-friends-and-colleagues](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/341469279-connect-building-exceptional-relationships-with-family-friends-and-colleagues) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
