By Robert Kegan, Lisa Lahey
In this intensely practical book, Harvard psychologists Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey take us on a carefully guided journey designed to help us answer why the gap is so great between our hopes, our intentions, our decisions, and the outcomes we create. They help each of us arrive at our own particular answers that can solve the puzzling gap between what we intend and what we are able to accomplish. How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work provides you with the tools to create a powerful new build-it-yourself mental technology.
“Lucid, accessible, and immensely satisfying, this provocative book is plainly the product of a very deep understanding of why people behave the way they do… an approach to change that is at once systematic and humane… breakthrough thinking… compelling and inspiring.”
“New, practical, and effective strategies for today’s core leadership challenge: how to transform behavior in ourselves and others – without the debilitating crisis that is usually needed – by seeing and transcending the forces that hold us back.”
