About this episode

Dr Karen Bridbord discusses her book on using psychology to improve workplace relationships and productivity.

Dr Karen Bridbord is the author of a new book, The Relationship-Driven Leader that invites us to bring a psychologist's lens to our job and the relationships with those around us. Her perspective is to use psychology to understand the person in front of you to interpret the world through their eyes. If you’ve got a controlling boss or someone who behaves in a way that impacts your life she helps you unpick what’s going in their head.  The Relationship-Driven Leader: Strengthening Connections to Enhance Productivity and Wellness at Work   Sign up to the Make Work Better newsletter or check out the best ever episodes at the website .
