The Bullshift Book by Andrew Horabin: Introduction and Chapter 1

Bullshift is for you if you want to get more openness, honesty, and straight talk at work.

If you want to get better at giving feedback. And receiving it.

If you want your meetings to be more focused and productive.

If you want to feel greater purpose, meaning or connection at work.

In Chapter 1, we focus on building more collaborative relationships with The Ladder of Relationships. Every day we make choices about whether to work together for a higher purpose (Collaborate), work nicely alongside each other while protecting our attachments (Co-operate), work in silos to achieve our own goals (Compete), or go into battle (Adversarial).

Where are your relationships along that spectrum today?

What makes them go up and down?

And what can you do to improve them?

We'll explore the Intent, Mindset, Behaviours, and Communication Habits that go with each level and talk about some things we can all do to lift our relationships up.
