The Power of the Other: The startling effect other people have on you, from the boardroom to the bedroom and beyond-and what to do about it

by Henry Cloud

As leaders, people residing in Corner One tend not to build strong relational cultures. The culture might be high-performance and demanding, but people don’t feel that their contributions are valued or that they are truly cared about. And even though there might be good business results, these are usually short-lived, and then the lack of deep, positive relationships and a caring culture begins to erode trust and goodwill. It goes more and more toxic. The healthiest and most talented people usually leave to work at places where they’ll feel more valued, where they can be part of something with a soul.
