"Traditionally, training and development were not viewed as activities that could help companies create "value" and successfully deal with competitive challenges. Today, that view has changed. Companies that use innovative training and development practices are likely to report better financial performance than their competitors that do not. Training and development also help a company develop the human capital needed to meet competitive challenges"

Waarom eindigt het altijd zo? Kunnen we echt niet over iets praten - zonder te ruzieën of elkaar alleen maar te bevestigen? Psycholoog Michael Kahn gelooft van wel - en dat de gesprekken die we missen ons allemaal kunnen verbazen en verblijden. Nu bedrijven het informatietijdperk binnengaan en ons leven moeite heeft om bij te blijven, kunnen we het ons niet veroorloven om niet met elkaar te praten. En toch, hoeveel stemmen worden er afgesneden of verstomd, thuis of in de vergaderzaal, voordat ze zelfs maar gehoord kunnen worden? Dit boek is voor iedereen die ooit heeft geprobeerd te praten met een partner, collega of vriend, en uiteindelijk gefrustreerd, vervreemd of gekwetst is. Het hoeft niet zo te zijn! We kunnen allemaal leren om de strijdlustige of ongeïnteresseerde gespreksstijlen die we om ons heen zien te overwinnen en de vreugde te ervaren van het verkennen van nieuwe ideeën met anderen, het verdiepen van persoonlijke relaties en het vrijlaten van onbenutte creativiteit in ons professionele leven.
