About this audiobook
Will your business relationships suffer or be saved by your ability to communicate?
Like it or not, professional relationships are impacted - positively or negatively - by the ability to communicate. Customers are won or lost - employees are encouraged or de-motivated - professional networks are expanded or extinguished - all by how well we communicate. We Need to Talk reveals key strategies to help you build trust, win respect and sidestep common minefields when communicating gets critical.
"As a manager in a client service environment, the need frequently arises to have critical conversations. Within days of reading We Need to Talk, I applied two of the principles Phil described and was beyond thrilled at the outcome. Not only did my associate respond favorably to the message, but agreed that changes were needed and committed to making them. I was utterly amazed at how easy it was to have the conversation. Every manager, no matter how experienced can benefit from this book. --Priscilla Pinnegar, Client Support Manager II ADP, Inc.
