People often avoid uncomfortable or potentially emotional conversations. Avoiding a necessary conversation often creates a worse situation. Learning how to have a “crucial conversation” is a powerful skill that anyone can learn.
Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler should be required reading for all human beings. This book teaches how to have a crucial conversation and achieve what you want through having a meaningful dialogue with someone and also how to avoid getting what you do not want from that conversation. With some practice, the tactics can become second nature, and we can stop avoiding what we really want and need to talk about.
Silence can be deadly when critical information is withheld or left unsaid. Learn how to have crucial conversations and get on with the dialogue.
