This revolutionary text introduces you to the five different gears, or mindsets, that carry you through various facets of your day. These include: First gear--when you fully rest and recharge; Second gear--when you connect with family or friends without the involvement of work; Third gear--when you are socializing; Fourth gear--when you are working and multi-tasking; and Fifth gear--when you are fully focused and "in the zone," working without interruption. Using these gears consistently allows you to bring a new level of relational intelligence to your life that offers a competitive advantage in our task-driven world. All too often people go through life without truly connecting--and can, as a result, miss out on experiences and relationships that have the power to bring them great joy. By understanding how the five gears presented in this engaging book work, you can improve your ability to connect with the world around you.
