About the Book

Discover the three operational styles present in any workplace. Unlike personality types, operational styles shape how we view our jobs and ourselves, how we get things done, and how we leverage relationships to do so within the context of work. When operational styles mesh well, relationships thrive and productivity soars! When these styles collide, people and companies lose big--in the form of compromised productivity, profitability, damaged culture, and poor morale. Walk, Climb, or Fly provides practical advice that will help anyone--at any level--move from merely surviving to a thriving, professional existence. By embracing your operational style and following steps to career course correction, you will learn how to navigate interpersonal conflict, improve communication and collaboration, and secure a better job fit. You'll also be empowered to realign your work to a greater sense of purpose and obtain more satisfaction and gratification from your labor.
