Synopsis

Heal, rebuild and rebalance your family relationships. Hailed by "The New York Times Magazine" as one of the "earth-shattering breakthroughs" of the year, "Family 360" brings home the proven benefits of a powerful process that has helped busy people in all walks of life strengthen personal and family relationships and bring balance to their work and personal lives. "What a concept - combining the power of candid 360 feedback to the family. Anyone serious about improving their relationships at home both for its own sake, as well as to boost their effectiveness, should take the Family 360." - Larry Bossidy, Former Chairman and CEO, Honeywell International. "While my family has always been a high priority, the Family 360 process helped me take my relationships within my family to the next level. It helped me focus and act on some behaviors in areas that needed attention. As a result, my relationships with my wife and children are even stronger." - Dean Scarborough, President and COO, Avery Dennison. "My family is my greatest priority-nothing is more important. So, I'm always looking for ways to strengthen my relationships with my wife and children. I used the "Family 360" to help me raise the bar on myself in terms of being a better, more effective husband and father." - Lee Bird, Executive Vice President and COO, Gap North America. Perry M. Christensen and Benson L. Porter - who have used this amazingly effective tool at companies, such as Honeywell, General Motors and IBM - show how anyone who wants to reconnect with loved ones can assess current relationships, talk one-on-one with family members, and make positive changes. Whether you're an executive who feels you have neglected your personal relationships, or a working parent who wants to get more connected to your family, you'll learn a practical and inspiring approach to developing ongoing, open, and loving communication in your personal and family relationships.
