What is this book about?

A science-backed recipe for creating engagement, fulfillment, and achievement

We're stuck. Stuck to the couch. Stuck scrolling. Stuck at work. Stuck in worn-out paths of habitual action. Stuck in patterns and echo chambers of thought. Stuck in carefully curated lives where we've traded our agency for endless comforts that wrap us in existential ennui.

As our eyes fixate on a constant parade of images meant to engage us, we notice something in the periphery. We see folks who are just like us, except they are actually, deeply happy and fulfilled. They seem to go through life with ease and grace,…

Michelle Tillis Lederman Author Of The Connector's Advantage: : 7 Mindsets to Grow your Influence and Impact

From my list on women leaders to have respect and relationships.

By Michelle Tillis Lederman Author

Why am I passionate about this?

Being a leader is hard, being a woman in leadership is exponentially harder. I learned this firsthand at 22 during my first management role at one of the big 4 accounting firms. I did it all wrong and I want to help women leaders avoid all the mistake I made. The most important thing I learned is the importance of relationships. What I do now is help people communicate to connect because what I believe is that real relationships lead to real results. And close relationships, personal and professional, just make us happier, and who doesn’t want that?

Michelle Tillis Lederman Why Michelle loves this book

I love this book because it not only reinforced many of the things I already believed, but it also made me look at the ideas from a different angle. I love it when a book is actionable, and I found the questions, especially the ones at the end of chapter 4, helped me take stock of my behaviors and choose something specific to work on.

I actually like homework. I am now building a habit of asking important people in my life, “What’s one thing that would improve our relationship?” And I am seeing a difference.

You, Me, We

2 authors picked You, Me, We as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

From a trio of authors, best friends, and leadership development consultants, Better Work Together is a book for leaders who want to improve - at leading, yes, but also at their lives. How so? By building deep, long-lasting relationships that set everybody up for success.

One of the most important indicators of individual, team, and organisational success is the presence of an ally mindset. When we have best friends at work - people who are with us, in good times and bad, and who help ensure we make it through together - we thrive. When we don't, we flail, and…
