The keys to effective relationships at work? Stay quiet and listen more, says Davis (chief people officer, FranklinCovey) in this book that offers 15 habits to building and keeping solid associations in the workplace. Making the office a safe place to speak the truth, trusting oneself as well as others, and reflecting on the intentions that drive one's actions are all sage practices, but the foundation of Davis's fundamental points is observing and listening to business partners, colleagues, and supervisors. In this way, employees will learn more about themselves and be able to see their role in a department and the entire organization. By building credibility, one can become more successful and a trusted coworker. VERDICT Great for everyone, not just for managers. Readers who enjoyed Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends & Influence People will find Davis's ideas valuable.--Melissa Lockaby, Univ. of North Georgia Libs., Dahlonega
