Product Description

Product Description

Communication within many organisations has been reduced to e-mail, electronic file transfer, and hasty sound bytes at hurried meetings. More and more, people appear to have forgotten the value of wisdom gained by ordinary conversations. This book convincingly restores this most human of attributes to prime place within businesses and organisations, and demonstrates what can be accomplished through the medium of focused conversation. Developed, tested, and extensively used by professionals in the field of organisational development, 'The Art of Focused Conversation' is an invaluable resource for all those working to improve communications in firms and organisations.

Produced by the Institute for Cultural Affairs (ICA) in Canada, the book was edited by R Brian Stanfield, its Director of Publications. A non-profit with a presence in 48 countries, the ICA has worked for 45 years in organisational development, adult and child education, community development, and methods of social change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read & great for practical tips & examples, 5 Feb 2009
By T. Sharp (UK - run with a Canadian group) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book an excellent support for explaining to a leadership development group the concept of working in a more multi-dimensional way with staff, clients & colleagues. With easy tips for how to access more of the emotional spectrum in your conversations with others. The written style is straightforward and very easy to dip in and out of. It didn't take long to read and also provides excellent examples of how a focused conversation can be structured in different commercial/relationship situations.
