Better Conversations for Better Results: A Leader's Guide to Skillful Work Conversations
It's a fact: Up to 80% of a leader's work
happens through conversation. Each team meeting, performance review, strategic discussion, and critical decision flows through your ability to effectively engage in these high-stakes conversations. Yet most leaders never receive formal training in this skill that matters most since it is very often the "work" itself.
This book is designed specifically for leaders to master the skill that drives everything else. While the strategies are proven in leadership contexts, they'll transform your personal relationships too—because high quality conversation skills positively impact all life's areas.
Tools, better practices and exercises to shift your mindset and enhance your conversational intelligence.
