Creating a balance in workplace relationships is a
challenge. Be it for lateral collaborations between colleagues or
vertical interactions between managers and team members, striking the right
chords and perfecting the equilibrium is crucial or else the very fabric of a
progressive organization disintegrates. Individuals often struggle with picking
the appropriate choice when it comes to achieving organizational tasks or
maintaining effective communication with people around them. Achieving poise
between both these vital aspects of working in an organization is not often as
easy as it sounds. But Mission First
People Always: The Definitive Guide to Balancing People and Performance by
Mike Patterson provides effective tools that make it possible.

just senior management but team members as well with accurate guidelines to
