Marc Haine argues that poor relationships cost Corporate America $300 billion a year in lost productivity. Workplace performance can drop 50–75% during divorce, and he says relationship skills are learnable competencies that matter more than most people think.
I wrote the book because we have a divorce rate that's over 50%. And I'll ask you a question. Corporate America is losing $300 billion every year in workplace productivity. Do you know why? One word. Relationships? Yes. Divorce. Bad relationships and divorce. So when people go through divorce, their workplace performance drops by 50 to 75%. And the punchline to the book is love doesn't create great relationship. Love is a byproduct of a great relationship. So if you haven't developed the competencies to create a great relationship, hate to say it, what makes you think you deserve love?
