Crucial Accountability: Tools for Resolving Violated Expectations, Broken Commitments and Bad Behavior; Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler, McGraw Hill, Rs.495.
Behind the problems that routinely plague families, teams, and organisations are individuals who either can’t or won’t deal with failed promises. Others have broken rules, missed deadlines, or just behaved badly. If anybody steps up to the issue, they often do a lousy job and create a whole new set of problems. New research demonstrates that these disappointments aren’t just irritating. They’re also costly — sapping organisational performance by 20 to 50 per cent and accounting for up to 90 per cent of divorces. Drawn from over 10,000 hours of real-life observations, Crucial Confrontations , which was the first edition, taught the reader skills to increase confidence in facing tough issues. With the inclusion of additional cases and research studies, this book will teach you to deal with failed promises and missed deadlines, transform broken rules and bad behaviours into productive accountability and strengthen relationships while solving problems.
