Clear Leadership: Sustaining Real Collaboration and Partnership at Work Second Edition

Product Description Combating what the author calls interpersonal mush: a prevailing disorder that stifles learning, hampers collaborative teamwork, and closes down honest communication, Clear Leadership details the skills that make partnership and leadership in groups possible: self-awareness, descriptiveness, curiosity, and appreciation. Identifies the barriers to truth-telling and shows how to overcome them; explains exactly what clear leadership is, why it's important, and how it looks and sounds; and shows how to become more skilled at turning interpersonal clarity into action.
