Summary: People could readily develop the technical ability to solve virtually any of the complex tasks facing humanity. Feeding the hungry people of the world, cleaning up pollution, producing sufficient energy for everyone and curing major diseases are accomplishments within the technical grasp of people. The roadblocks to such accomplishments, however lie in human relationships and the problems they pose. This book is about people at work. It focuses on the many psychological and social pressures that people experience when they interact with each other. But in a more important sense, the emphasis of the book is on you, the reader. Whatever your position and societal role, human relationships play an important part in daily life. Understanding these relationships can help you accomplish your goals in all types of organizations.
