This bestselling guide offers insights into leading positive change in organizations, emphasizing that the ability to influence others is a crucial leadership skill. Many leaders overlook this, leading to ineffective change efforts—research shows that fewer than one in eight workplace changes succeed, often resulting in cynicism. Frustrated by these failures, leaders frequently question why people resist change. The authors, known for their work on Crucial Conversations, present an updated edition of their influential guide. It draws on case studies of exceptional leaders and research from behavioral scientists to explain why people act as they do and how leaders can effectively influence behavior to achieve results. Central to this approach is the Six Sources of Influence® model, which identifies the personal, social, and structural factors that affect motivation and ability. This new edition includes feedback from readers, updated stories, new research, practical applications for contemporary challenges, and fresh insights from the authors' experiences over the past 15 years. With updated statistics and case studies, it equips leaders with strategies to intentionally influence others. Mastering these skills can empower individuals to work smarter, grow faster, and improve their lives, ultimately leading to meaningful change.

The authors show how to achieve personal, team, and organizational success by healing broken promises, resolving violated expectations, and influencing bad behavior. Behind the problems that routinely plague organizations and families, you'll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with failed promises. Others have broken rules, missed deadlines, failed to live up to commitments, or just plain behaved badly--and nobody steps up to the issue. Or they do, but do a lousy job and create a whole new set of problems. Accountability suffers and new problems spring up. New research demonstrates that these disappointments aren't just irritating, they're costly--sapping organizational performance and accounting for most divorces. This book teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a way that solves the problem at hand, and doesn't harm the relationship--and in fact, even strengthens it.--From publisher description.

Zažívame ich všetci. Situácie, v ktorých ide o veľa a kde od toho, ako sa vyvinú, závisí naša budúcnosť, kariéra a duševná pohoda. Je preto paradoxom, že rozhodujúce momenty v našich životoch buď prehliadame, podceňujeme a neriešime, alebo čakáme, kým ich vyrieši niekto iný. Prečo je to tak? Uznávaní školitelia a autori tejto knihy dlhé roky skúmali najschopnejších diskutérov – lídrov aj obyčajných ľudí, aby zozbierali základné pravidlá pre zvládanie rozhodujúcich rozhovorov. Vytvorili tak jednotný a prehľadný systém, vďaka ktorému: - sa dokážete pripraviť na rozhodujúce momenty vo svojom živote, - odstránite z rozhovorov negatívne emócie (svoje aj iných ľudí), - vytvoríte takú bezpečnú a priateľskú atmosféru, v ktorej bude možné diskutovať o všetkom, - budete sebaistí, presvedčiví, ale nie drsní.
