I read this book for a seminary class on intercultural communication. It is a great book on how to have hard conversations with people especially when you are in a leadership position. This book is a good read for leaders no matter what field they are in. Both church leadership and secular business leadership. It helped me both in my church ministry and my secular job as a supervisor. ... show more

Review Image by James J. James J.
Everyone should own this book. You should buy a copy of it now. A book everyone should read and that applies to business, relationships, and daily life. This book has a permanent home on my desk because I open it almost every day. This book applies to every conversation, especially the difficult ones and made me a better communicator nearly immediately in work and life (even though I had considered myself a good one prior) Favorite Takeaway: This book transformed the way I answer questions. Too often we try to wordsmith or sugar coat things to not upset others. After reading this book I realized that at work it was best to answer any employee's question authentically, directly and with respect. You may not like the answer, but I will share the reality and truth. ... show more

    • The book every professional and leader/manager should read
Review Image by Dee Frankenberg Dee Frankenberg
This book is not a tips and tricks book. It is not a self change book. It is a book based on researched best practices that help people communicate effectively in high stakes, highly consequential conversations where it all could be on the line. I have read and been able to apply the skill set obtained from this book into my leadership skills in education. The results have been priceless. I lead 60 staff members and have had to have some tough conversations. Now 99% of the time the result is one of mutual respect and deepening of the relationship. I used to find conflict one that I would try to avoid, or try to control the outcomes. We all come to the table with how we’ve learned to communicate and negotiate with difficult people and situations. This book literally systemically breaks down the skill sets to help you be your best for others. ... show more
