Business Chemistry: Practical Magic for Crafting Powerful Work Relationships

As a learning professional, I have found Business Chemistry book to be such a game changer for work. This book is easy to follow, well structured and provides incredible insights into rethinking how you can approach understanding how to best communicate with colleagues and or customers to get the best out what you are seeking to accomplish.

This interesting and entertaining book argues very well that there is no "better" personality type for business. All have advantages and disadvantages. And a team with different strengths and talents has greater potential than one where everyone is similar. But those personality differences can derail, as well as enhance, a team's performance (most often it is the former). So understanding your own and your associates' personalities and preferences can make huge improvements in job satisfaction and effectiveness.Because different people think and respond in different ways, the authors maintain that the golden rule of business chemistry is not to treat others as YOU would like to be treated, but as THE OTHERS would like to be treated.Lots of specific suggestions, and excellent examples. An interesting wrinkle is that the two authors are of opposite personality types, and you can see in their interactions the advantages and stresses those differences cause.

Business Chemistry isn't just for work. I find myself using it with my family, in social occasions, and in other areas that demand empathy.. This book dives into the one thing we've often wondered, "Why can't I get through to this person?" By understanding how others think and what they need to contribute to success, it provides a wealth of knowledge if you put it into practice. My absolute favorite sections are the "___ in hell." I just wanted to print my type off, highlight the major points, and send it to those that make me bang my head against the wall (ahem... mother...). This book isn't just a good perspective, it is the key to the kingdom of success!

Research based, facts well articulated enough for people like me (Driver-Pioneer) to get going till the end of the book! Enjoyed and would recommend to colleague and Family! Thank you!

As a Deloitte professional, I have had the privilege of having access to the Business Chemistry assessment for several years. The assessment is wonderful, but this book provides an unparalleled depth of understanding of the concepts that make up Business Chemistry. The beauty of Business Chemistry is that the insights are useful and immediately actionable for more effectively collaborating with others. I'm excited that these insights will now be available to a larger audience upon the release of this book. Outside of Deloitte, I am very active as a PTA officer in my local community and I will definitely be recommending this book to anyone who is serious about working effectively with others to create stronger organizations and to accomplish important and meaningful goals.

rified PurchaseEarly Reviewer Rewards(What's this?)I had a specific need to add a GT2 belt pulley to a location that already utilized and M4 mount screw. M3 and M5 pulleys were common an easy to come by but I had a harder time finding something that would mount on an M4. These were relatively inexpensive, were available with prime shipping, arrived on time and packaging was sufficient to protect the pulleys. Perfect solution! I’ve bought two of these packs now and have included links in the bill of materials for multiple linear motion projects. I’ll have no worries buying again from winsinn when I need more.

I've been using Business Chemistry for several years now to improve my work relationships and understanding of others, but until reading 'Practical Magic', I wasn't using Business Chemistry to improve outcomes for the teams I lead. I loved the 'practical' advice on how not to kill the potential of those who are different from me, and how I might bring out the best in everyone and activate the power of cognitive diversity. Everything I read was immediately applicable, and a real game changer for me (and certainly those I work with!!)

The Business Chemistry framework has transformed the way I work with others. I regularly use the "hunching" technique to tailor how I approach and communicate with my teammates and clients, to ensure that I accommodate their preferences, and am treating others how THEY want to be treated. Could not recommend more highly!

Being fascinated about human interactions, this looked to be right up my street. It is... and I throughly recommend this book (and the assessment!) to everybody.

Easy read, lots of practical tips to apply in the real world. Thoroughly enjoyed

Excelente artículo

This book has nothing original. It mainly consists of theories that are already known and banal examples. The basic assumption seems to be that human beings can be classified into very simple categories & knowing about these categories would work magic. The initial chapters are nothing new but tolerable. In later chapter the authors try to touch upon the complexities of human nature but fail miserably. Then they resort to analysing each-other’s personalities as if the whole world is about them. Anybody with basic knowledge of statistics would be able to question the quality of their data models & conclusions. On top of this the printed version of the book smelt strongly of paint.
