Sinossi

Summary of Crucial Conversations - Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High - A Comprehensive Summary

While the phrase “crucial conversation” might conjure up images of important officials gathered in conference rooms, the authors mean it to refer to the dialogues we engage in, every day of our lives. Three things come together to forge a crucial conversation, which is a discussion involving two or more people: opposing opinions, strong emotions, and high stakes.
Typically, people handle these kinds of conversations in three ways: they avoid them, they face them and handle them poorly, or they face them and handle them well. Of those three choices, who would not choose the third option, to handle them well? And yet, it usually goes the other way: usually, when we get into “crucial” territory, we bring out our worst behavior.
The authors claim that this is because we are designed incorrectly, which means we do not know what to do when a conversation slides out of casual territory. When we hear someone say something that we disagree with, our body reacts in a hostile manner, pumping adrenaline through our veins and diverting blood from the brain. Worse, we are not usually...

    It has never been more apparent just how volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) the world is. With all the adversity and challenge we face in today’s world, leaders need to cultivate more inner resilience and learn to lead in a new way – a way that focuses on relational authority rather than positional authority. Resilience and relational authority (AKA – bringing out the best in everyone around us) require winning our inner game of leadership much more than our outer game. Unshakeable Influence provides hands-on and insightful tips for recognizing, responding to, and optimizing everything going on inside of us. The outside world is fickle, at best. When we have an unshakeable inner game as leaders, the outer game flows much more easily.Through exhilarating, relatable, and entertaining stories about motorcycle racing and leadership, Unshakeable Influence explores and examines what mastering the Inner Game of Leadership is, what it looks like, and how it enables leaders and organizations to not only tolerate VUCA, but truly thrive through VUCA.

    The New York Times bestseller that gives “readers with an entrepreneurial turn of mind . . . road maps on how millionaires found their niches” (USA Today).   The author of the blockbuster bestseller The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America’s Wealthy shows how self-made millionaires have surmounted shortcomings such as average intelligence by carefully choosing their careers, taking calculated risks, and living balanced lifestyles while maintaining their integrity. Dr. Thomas J. Stanley also builds on his research from The Millionaire Next Door and takes us further into the psyche of the American millionaire.   Stanley focuses in on the top one percent of households in America and tells us the motor behind the engine; what makes them tick. His findings on how these families reached such financial success are based on in-depth surveys and interviews with more than thirteen hundred millionaires.   “A very good book that deserves to be well read.” —The Wall Street Journal   “Worth every cent . . . It’s an inspiration for anyone who has ever been told that he wasn’t smart enough or good enough.” —Associated Press   “A high IQ isn’t necessarily an indicator of financial success . . . Stanley tells us that the typical millionaire had an average GPA and frugal spending habits—but good interpersonal skills.” —Entertainment Weekly   “Ideas bigger than the next buck.” —Orlando Sentinel

    A contemplation on “the durability of our fast-tracked, multitasked modern world . . . a stimulating cautionary report for the digital age.”—Kirkus Reviews   We live in an ever-accelerating world: faster computers, markets, food, fashion, product cycles, minds, bodies, kids, lives. When did everything start moving so fast? Why does speed seem so inevitable? Is faster always better? Drawing together developments in religion, philosophy, art, technology, fashion, and finance, Mark C. Taylor presents an original and rich account of a great paradox of our times: how the very forces and technologies that were supposed to free us by saving time and labor now trap us in a race we can never win. The faster we go, the less time we have, and the more we try to catch up, the farther behind we fall.  Connecting our speed-obsession with today’s global capitalism, he composes a grand narrative showing how commitments to economic growth and extreme competition, combined with accelerating technological innovation, have brought us close to disaster. Psychologically, environmentally, economically, and culturally, speed is taking a profound toll on our lives. By showing how the phenomenon of speed has emerged, Taylor offers us a chance to see our pace of life as the product of specific ideas, practices, and policies. It’s not inevitable or irreversible. He courageously and movingly invites us to imagine how we might patiently work towards a more deliberative life and sustainable world. “With panache and flashes of brilliance, Taylor, a Columbia University religion professor and cultural critic, offers a philosophically astute analysis of how time works in our era.” —Publishers Weekly
