A stunning approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one''s working relationship with others, one''s overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year''s Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can''t people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides? Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of Change Anything will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results. The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.

The authors of the New York Times bestseller Crucial Conversations show you how to achieve personal, team, and organizational success by healing broken promises, resolving violated expectations, and influencing good behavior Discover skills to resolve touchy, controversial, and complex issues at work and at home--now available in this follow-up to the internationally popular Crucial Conversations. Behind the problems that routinely plague organizations and families, you''ll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with failed promises. Others have broken rules, missed deadlines, failed to live up to commitments, or just plain behaved badly--and nobody steps up to the issue. Or they do, but do a lousy job and create a whole new set of problems. Accountability suffers and new problems spring up. New research demonstrates that these disappointments aren''t just irritating, they''re costly--sapping organizational performance by twenty to fifty percent and accounting for up to ninety percent of divorces. Crucial Confrontations teaches skills drawn from 10,000 hours of real-life observations to increase confidence in facing issues like: An employee speaks to you in an insulting tone that crosses the line between sarcasm and insubordination. Now what? Your boss just committed you to a deadline you know you can''t meet--and not-so-subtly hinted he doesn''t want to hear complaints about it. Your son walks through the door sporting colorful new body art that raises your blood pressure by forty points. Speak now, pay later. An accountant wonders how to step up to a client who is violating the law. Can you spell unemployment? Family members fret over how to tell granddad that he should no longer drive his car. This is going to get ugly. A nurse worries about what to say to an abusive physician. She quickly remembers "how things work around here" and decides not to say anything. Everyone knows how to run for cover, or if adequately provoked, step up to these confrontations in a way that causes a real ruckus. That we have down pat. Crucial Confrontations teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a way that solves the problem at hand, and doesn''t harm the relationship--and in fact, even strengthens it. Crucial Confrontations borrows from twenty years of research involving two groups. More than 25,000 people helped the authors identify those who were most influential during crucial confrontations. They spent 10,000 hours watching these people, documented what they saw, and then trained and tested with more than 300,000 people. Second, they measured the impact of crucial confrontations improvements on organizational and team performance--the results were immediate and sustainable: twenty to fifty percent improvements in measurable performance.

Are you an Influencer ? Find out at www.influencerbook.com ”You don''t have to be a manager to realize that no one likes being told what to do. Yet lectures are still the main way we try to get people to change their behavior. Fortunately, social learning academics have been studying alternatives for decades. Patterson and his fellow consultants have now collected their findings in this engaging, example-rich book. The key message is hardly new, but it has gotten more sophisticated: Managers need to get out of the way and facilitate, not manage, the process of change for employees. They can do this by offering vicarious experiences, restructured environments, peer pressure, and frequent tests-all geared so that people embrace the change as authentic to them, not imposed by an outsider. Missing are only success stories of organizations that persuaded managers to drop their controlling habits and choose to be mere facilitators.”-John T. Landry, Harvard Business Review

The New York Times bestselling guide to leading positive change in any organization―updated with critical new insights, research, and case studies The world-renowned leadership experts that brought us the leadership classic Crucial Conversations have fully updated their bestselling Crucial Influence (originally published as Influencer). In these pages, they reveal that fewer than one in eight behavior change efforts is successful—and most produce nothing more than wasted resources and organization-wide cynicism. The solution to this challenge isn’t easy, but it is simple. It’s all about the strategic application of influence—systematic and intentional actions aimed at helping people improve results by changing their behavior—a practice most leaders have yet to fully understand and embrace. Crucial Influence walks you through the process of identifying the personal, social, and structural levers that influence both motivation and ability, then engaging these levers for directed behavior change. “At the end of the day, leadership is intentional influence,” the authors write. “If behavior isn’t changing, you aren’t leading.” Whatever you’re seeking to change through effective leadership—from making virtual workforces work to tackling a social issue—influence, not authority, is what will get you there. You’ll learn to view leadership through the new lens of influence as you apply the lessons from this book to everyday challenges. New to this edition: Updated stories and examples using the Crucial Influence model The authors’ latest research on behavior change Practical applications for everyday leadership challenges New case studies and business examples

Comment gérer des promesses non tenues, des attentes déçues, des comportements répréhensibles ? Que faire quand une personne vous déçoit ? Option 1 : la violence. Option 2 : le silence. Option 3 : une autre méthode qui implique ni lutte ni fuite. Nous devons tous faire face à des confrontations cruciales. Nous fixons des attentes claires mais la personne en face ne les respecte pas.

Quando la posta in gioco è alta, le opinioni divergono e le emozioni sono forti, ci sono tre possibilità: evitare le conversazioni cruciali; gestirle in modo inadeguato; oppure applicare le lezioni e le strategie di questo libro per migliorare le relazioni e i risultati. "Conversazioni cruciali" è ormai un classico della comunicazione, con oltre cinque milioni di copie vendute in tutto il mondo, attualizzato in questa edizione aggiornata con nuove prospettive e strumenti per rispondere ai bisogni mutati del mondo di oggi. Questo libro insegna a prepararsi mentalmente ed emotivamente per le conversazioni significative, a creare un ambiente di sicurezza psicologica, a esprimere le idee con chiarezza e rispetto, ad ascoltare attivamente e comprendere le prospettive altrui e a tradurre le conversazioni in azioni concrete. Gli autori illustrano anche le tecniche più efficaci per riuscire a essere persuasivi piuttosto che adottare uno stile di comunicazione ruvido, per tornare a un dialogo produttivo quando i nostri interlocutori esplodono in uno scoppio d’ira o si chiudono a riccio, e per padroneggiare le conversazioni ad alto rischio, indipendentemente dall’argomento su cui vertono o dalle persone coinvolte. Scritto con uno stile chiaro e accattivante, "Conversazioni cruciali" fornisce competenze per garantire che ogni conversazione significativa che ci troviamo ad affrontare porti ai risultati desiderati.
