Back Jacket
Research says that 70% of managers avoid having difficult conversations. This leads to poor decision-making, a cynical atmosphere that rots communication, and people competing rather than collaborating. Avoiding difficult conversations saps our energy, keeps us feeling stuck and blocks positive outcomes.

- Use the Four Secrets so you can better tackle the conversations you dread most
- 'Find your ground' and prepare to have a difficult conversation
