A “crucial conversation” is
one where stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run
strong--and
they occur every day in boardrooms, with greatly varying degrees
of success.
Is your boardroom one where discussions are direct
and candid,
where people feel safe to talk about anything necessary?
Do all the cards get put on the table, allowing for the best
decisions to be made, the best solutions found? Or is the
environment such that conversation is sometimes restricted,
constricted or tense; leading to withholding of opinions
and ineffective decisions?
Come to this breakfast and explore:
The components of a crucial conversation
The skills and abilities
needed to ensure healthy and successful debate & resolution
Real-life examples of
crucial conversations and the path to successful outcomes
What to do when the internal issues become public
How to be sure that external
communications don’t
derail constructive internal communications
Walk away with some
new ideas—and tools—for
handling the difficult and important conversations
in the boardroom!
