Inappropriate workplace conduct, lateness, sexually offensive behavior, productivity and communication issues...these are just a few of the uncomfortable topics bosses must sometimes discuss with their employees. 101 Tough Conversations to Have with Employees offers realistic sample dialogues managers can use to facilitate clear, direct interactions with their employees, helping to sidestep potential awkwardness and meet issues head-on.

Decent examples, but outdated male focused POV

Everything I was hoping for.

Covers so many of the basic situations and more that a manager would come across and gives excellent examples of how to deal with them properly. If you're thinking of being a manager or just want to understand the points of views that managers experience this is exactly the book for that. Each situation is covered in about 5 minutes each, so I listen to one a day. The audible narrator was excellent too.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could cut through the clutter and create consensus for your ideas and proposals? In this audiobook, author and humanist Jennifer Hancock discusses recent research on how ideas are formed and changed to help you understand why and how to yield to your opponent. You'll learn how to turn the conversation around using Socratic questioning techniques to frame the underlying moral debate to your advantage.

Too textbook-ish

Nothing beats the voice of experience.

Jennifer hits the nail on the head on so many levels. You can tell she is very well seasoned in critical thinking by her demeaner as she shares her techniques. Tis why I purchased 5 other of her audio books. Mind you I don't personally know her, this is all coming from listening to the other books' demos, reading her short biography, and finishing this audio book. She shares very well the variables at play when it comes to reasoning with others and how to react Socratically to help keep the interactions productive, sane, and logical. No filler material, she keeps the skills and reasoning we want to learn flowing from start to finish. I wish I had this skill 6 years ago when I went vegan for the animals, as I've had many heated debates since then and wished I had used the methods she teaches here. I probably would have been able to come across as a much more reasonable person for the benefit of all of us involved. This audio book fully teaches what it says it will. The skill of Socratic questioning is so important yet so rarely taught or even known of. Very highly recommended. Thank you, Jennifer, you are truly awesome! -Craig Deskins
