WCAGLS14: Joseph Grenny, The Art of Crucial Conversations

ByDan Sullivan

First up, Friday morning, was Joseph Grenny and Mastering the Art of Crucial Conversations. You can tell I liked this one a lot because I took 4 pages of notes. The best talks either get zero or a ton of notes.

One great takeaway was this:

“Everyone tells the truth in the hallway, where it doesn’t help anybody.”

Of course, we think it doesn’t hurt anybody either, which is why we say it in the hallway.

Read through this and see if any of it applies to your work/family/church. I’m sure some of it will.

Global Leadership Summit 2011, Part 2: Leonard A. Schlesinger

ByDan Sullivan

(Might have something to do with the fact that I’ve become an entrepreneur in the last year and a lot of what he said was really promising and exciting, vs. the usual song you hear when you are starting your own business that has a repeating chorus singing “you will fail, you will fail, you will fail.”) … I think they would have benefited a lot from just focusing on the next month rather than thinking they had to discover their lifelong vocation at 22.
