“Outstanding! I read a TON of business books and have enjoyed a few great ones on the topic of having Tough Conversations. The challenge was after I put the book down I still felt lost of WHAT I was supposed to do next, or HOW would I actually prepare and have that conversation I was avoiding. What is different about this book is that it reads as a powerful PLAYBOOK with SPECIFIC steps on why to have the conversations, how to prepare, what to do during the conversation, and what to do after the conversation (this is a critical step that is often overlooked). I feel like I now have the Playbook used by world class leaders. This book will NOT be going on my bookshelf, it has already found a home on my desk to be used on a weekly basis.”
