Publisher Description
The single factor that determines success or failure in big business today is conversation. Great leaders use public and private conversation to send a clear message, cultivate a common worldview, set high standards and reachable goals, and uncover concerns that can undermine an organization. So what conversation are you, as a leader, having with your team? Experienced change consultant Rose Fass explains how too often we think we’re having the same conversation – about “dark chocolate,” for instance – only to be referring to three different things: milk, white, or bittersweet varieties. She shows us how to first establish common ground that leads to an effective discourse for addressing relevance, growth, and scaling: the three most important issues she sees in business today. In a light-hearted and humorous way, Fass shows how leaders can avoid a meltdown and instead drive transformation through the way they communicate in a language that all stakeholders can understand. Gildan Media and Bibliomotion are proud to bring you another Bibliomotion Audiobook. Featuring exceptional content for today’s listener, these notable audiobooks contain the essential tools that can be applied to every facet of your life.

“My
senior leadership team was formed through acquisitions, restructuring,
and a compelling need to reinvent our business. We had a clear mission,
or so we thought. Instead our team was fragmented and we needed help. In
walks a dynamic, insightful woman asking us to define chocolate?!
It triggered a conversation that led us to recognize that past
victories would not take us into the future—and to instead frame a
unified strategy and focused actions. We got the job done. When I
assumed my next executive leadership role, the first call I made was to
that same dynamic woman, Rose Fass, for my next ‘chocolate
conversation.’”—
