Description:
In the wake of President Clinton's admitted dalliance with a White House intern, some may wonder whether it is wildly inappropriate--or merely a necessary sign of our times--to be openly discussing romantic relationships between coworkers. That is, however, exactly what lawyer and Harvard M.B.A. Dennis M. Powers does in The Office Romance: Playing with Fire Without Getting Burned. Arguing that the workplace is one of today's most common locales for romantic liaisons, Powers offers smitten colleagues a series of suggestions for building such personal relationships without destroying the professional ones that are inevitably intertwined. He bolsters his recommendations with dozens of first-person examples drawn from anonymous and composite sources and shows that when handled appropriately, these associations need not harm the businesses involved. Powers then fully explains the written (and unwritten) rules that govern such workplace conduct, carefully differentiating between consensual behavior and harassment. He even includes sample guidelines for developing a workable and productive "office romance policy" that follows his prointeractive philosophy. --Howard Rothman
