Last month I read Crucial Conversations, a now-venerable guide to having tough conversations in a way that engages the debaters. By defining a common goal through constantly trying to genuinely understand the needs and viewpoints of others, the conversations become less heated, and more productive. In a high-growth startup, such conversations can often be very stressful, and it is easy to lose track of your shared end goal when emotions flare up. Crucial Conversations covers many of the useful tactics in making sure these conversations are productive, and offers advice on improving relationships with your coworkers. – source2019-05-27T15:27:46.000Z

THIS!!! I read this book after my worst relationship breakup and it changed me. I bought it at JFK. I now dive headlong into conflict and it scares people. Conflict and difficult conversations ginger me. Crucial conversations define life the most. – source2020-08-01T11:22:07.000Z
