Fascinating, thanks for posting. If you have any reading recommendations where I could find out more about this, they'd be much appreciated.

I recommend reading about Gottman’s 7 principles and 4 horsemen. That’s for building strong marriages but when you and your coworkers are forced to think like that everyone wins.

As for brutal honesty one of the best books I have read is And They Were Not Ashamed. It’s a book about improving marriages through brutal honesty and increased sexual intimacy. The brutal honesty part can apply directly to professional relationships.

Thank you.
