Difficult Conversations by Douglas Stone

A highly intelligent, indispensable guide to how to discuss the undiscussable: asking for a raise, ending a relationship, apologising. Being tactful is a good thing to be, but it's not the answer to the dilemma of difficult conversations. We need advice that is more powerful than 'handle it nicely' or 'be diplomatic'. The problems run deeper than that; so must the answers. DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS presents an invaluable step-by-step guide on how to deal with the most challenging conversations and even more importantly, how to improve relationships. More often than not, dealing constructively with tough topics and awkward situations deepens a relationship. And that's too good an opportunity to pass up.
Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton and Sheila Heen work for the Harvard Negotiation Project.
