Summary

Words means things. Yet, there are many industry terms that people are unaware of the meaning. It is said that in order to become fluent in a language, a person should know 5,000 words. While this book does not offer this number, it does offer individuals with at least a conversational knowledge of operational terminology needed for the business professional. This book is an intended to be a reference desk guide for individuals in business, operations, change, project management, supply chain, and other industry efforts. 
 
As corporate trainer, I noticed many individual (who identified as mid-career professionals) appeared confused over common terms used in business today. Terms such as "Leader", "Management", "Supply Chain", or "C-Level" were not widely understood. This is not to say that the people were bad at their job, rather the common business terminology is in fact jargon. What started as a three page write up of common definitions turned into a dictionary for professionals.

    With In the Black, T. Dallas Smith identifies the centrality of honest and open relationships to success within the world of high-dollar commercial real estate deals. His advice to “build relationships before you need them” is complemented by personal stories highlighting the importance of identifying one’s advocates. Smith is keen to recognize the people — some of them sense-making and some of them unexpected — who helped lift him up in a field the primary practice of which has been to reject diversity among its practitioners. Smith shows how making one’s way in an industry that has historically rejected Black men and women may be challenging but is in no way impossible. His own story is proof that one can both be a trailblazer and use one’s hard-won position to open doors for others.

    The transition from management to leadership is considerably harder  than most people expect. A big promotion does not just mean using  the same skill set at a higher levelnew leaders must master  a whole new set of skills, with perhaps none more important than  the ability to have conversations that lead to high individual,  team and organizational performance. What kinds of conversations  lead to success, and how can leaders ensure they have them  effectively?   Leadership Conversations fundamentally changes the  conversations that leaders will have with their people and is the  ultimate guide to thriving as a high-potential manager and climbing  the ladder to become a top organizational leader. Rather than  engaging in an ongoing race to be heard and/or produce results,  leaders of any level must learn how to ask great questions and  listen to the answers, create a culture that places more value on  learning than on what people already know, and actually drive  innovation and focus on the big picture, versus just getting things  done. At the heart of Leadership Conversations is a  tactical, practical guide to achieving this, setting out the four  types of conversation every leader must master to achieve just  that:    Conversations to Build Relationships: how to master the  emotional intelligence required to be an effective leader, embrace  differences in order to engage followers and align them with the  organization's goals, and foster genuine transparency and honesty  to gain trust and respect.  Conversations to Make Decisions: how to integrate facts  with people and ask great questions that maximize potential. Key  tips are provided on developing good judgment, empowering choice,  the importance of being curious, and learning what you don't know  (but need to) in order to make good decisions.  Conversations to Take Action: how to develop vision,  allocate resources, and measure performance. How to avoid  assumptions and generally draw followers into action in concert  with the leader, rather than direct people to perform. Finally,  based on the idea of military "after-action," how to discuss and  learn from failures and successes.  Conversations to Develop Others: How to drive long term  growth and provide the foundation and fuel for future success; how  to mentor and recognize people, lead high-potential managers, and  ultimately celebrate their success    The book concludes with a personal action plan for leaders to  implement these techniques.  It's a different job at the top. Based on the proven management  acumen of its authors, and including the stories of  successful leaders from the authors' extensive network of  contacts, Leadership Conversations is required reading  for leaders of any level who want to improve their performance so  they will be promoted into, and be successful at, higher  positions.
