I was surprised to find this book is only ten years old. The writing style is so bad, I thought it was written in the 80’s. Regardless, most of the tools offered are important, relevant, and useful.

I skipped almost all of the vignettes; there are so many but the point was already clear. Seemed like unnecessary fluff.

Finally, I strongly disagree with their approach to dealing with sexual harassment. Have a private conversation with your harasser? Tell them you want to hear their side? They’ll probably stop once you’ve talked? The authors are tone deaf here.

Crucial Conversations by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler and Emily Gregory

I found out about this book through my workplace. I mainly purchased it for work (I work in HR) and I wanted to explore learning how to navigate crucial conversations. It certainly did that and some more. Not only is this a great guide for the workplace (especially if you’re a manager/leader) but also for the personal relationships in your life. Learning to communicate efficiently and understanding the Other perspective is truly so important and this book guides us to find the truth.

I read this for work and found it to have very useful, actionable advice. I've since gifted two copies.
