Lessons Learned

In Lessons Learned Roland S. Barth shares his often whimsical but always thoughtful reflections on relationships at sea and in the workplace. Drawing on his 40 years of experience on deck and in the schoolhouse Barth shows us that these two worlds have more in common than we might expect—and that there is much to be learned about getting along with one another from both.Barth’s seemingly simple stories of interactions among colleagues and companions provide rich humorous and often poignant insights into the subtlety and complexity of human relationships that shape teams and leaders. The resulting rules provide a practical and delightfully conversational guide to cultivating and fortifying working relationships.
