SEATTLE, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Brilliance Press has released SEX, INTIMACY AND BUSINESS -- A REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN... IT'S TIME TO GET UNDRESSED. This book asserts that when the same dynamics inherent in healthy personal relationships are applied to business relationships, employee satisfaction is dramatically increased and company goals are achieved more rapidly.

In SEX, INTIMACY and BUSINESS, Northwest entrepreneurs and authors Lindsay Andreotti and Brian Hilgendorf share their years of research regarding dysfunctional corporate environments and bring forth a new model of workplace behavior that is focused on driving business success. The basis of this new model is allowing and encouraging human authenticity in the workplace.

Mr. Hilgendorf explains, "Through our research and extensive experience, we kept coming back to the same conclusions: people are simply not happy at work and crave the same things that we all want in our personal lives, namely, relationships based on mutual trust, shared goals and the belief that he/she matters to those around them. We found that when companies create a business culture that encourages and rewards honesty, integrity and intimacy, everyone succeeds. After all, we spend approximately 70% of our awake time at work -- if 70% of our time is spent feeling unhappy, that's a significant problem."

Ms. Andreotti goes on to say: "Based on the results we've written about in the book, it is clear that we need to move from selfish and mechanical relationships in business, what we call 'bad sex,' to intimate, focused, and enduring work relationships, or 'good sex.' This means that from CEO to line staff, we need to 'get undressed' at work, meaning, be authentic and real. Doing this will dramatically increase creativity, satisfaction and fulfillment for all in the workplace, as well as reduce turnover and loss of productivity."

-- Create empathy -- listen to your customers, employees and vendors and make it safe for them to tell you what they really think and want; -- Align individuals to the company -- find ways to connect an individual's personal passion and life goals to the mission and vision of a company as a way to inspire innovation from your team; -- Collaborate as often as possible -- business isn't just about getting what you want, it's about finding the mutual benefit for all in and around the organization.
