Ask HN: Name some good books on the science of workplace behaviour, team health
soft skills, rapport etc Science? Hard to measure workplace behavior and team health. There are probably books which offer advice and anecdotes, but a "science of workplace behavior" seems unlikely. On the other hand, there are books which may be useful. For example, The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace by Ron Friedman might be helpful. (Your query motivated me to purchase a copy.) I found Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization
by Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright worth the read. My point--there is not much real quantitative science in this area: just stories and cautionary tales.
