About this listen

George Kohlrieser - an international leadership professor, consultant, and veteran hostage negotiator - explains that it is only by openly facing conflict that we can truly progress through the most difficult business challenges. In this provocative book, he reveals how the proven techniques and psychological insights used in hostage negotiation can be applied successfully to any personal or business relationship. Step by step, he outlines the seven key factors that anyone can use to remove the blocks that stand in the way of resolving tough problems and shows how business leaders, in particular, can develop and access the skills they need to create trust and a positive mind-set in their companies.

Really helpful for reinforcing the course information. Would be great if George recorded his other book. I find listening helps when you know someone’s voice as you pay more attention. I like how the book weaves real life scenarios with the theory.

I read this after completing George’s course at IMD, fantastic
