Relationship Rules for the Workplace gives men and women the skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive market. An estimated 30% of employee downtime is due to relationship and communication problems with coworkers and supervisors. Relationship Rules principles give men and women in management and leadership roles a way of maximizing productivity, boosting teamwork and resolving conflict by meeting each employee’s unique gender-based needs.

The impact of gender differences on an individual’s and an organization’s success and productivity is top priority. Relationship Rules uses specific communication tools and strategies that will motivate each gender using lighthearted, unique and easy-to-apply concepts to enhance relationships with coworkers and customers.

  • Men & woman are motivated differently
  • Male and female reactions under stress
  • Differing approaches to problem solving
