Books By Sheila Heen
We attempt or avoid difficult conversations every day-whether dealing with an underperforming employee, disagreeing with a spouse, or negotiating with a client. From the Harvard Negotiation Project, the organization that brought you Getting to Yes, Difficult Conversations provides a step-by-step approach to having those tough conversations with less stress and more success. you'll learn how to:
· Decipher the underlying structure of every difficult conversation
· Start a conversation without defensiveness
· Listen for the meaning of what is not said
· Stay balanced in the face of attacks and accusations
· Move from emotion to productive problem solving
We swim in an ocean of feedback. Bosses, colleagues, customers—but also family, friends, and in-laws—they all have “suggestions” for our performance, parenting, or appearance. We know that feedback is essential for healthy relationships and professional development—but we dread it and often dismiss it.
That’s because receiving feedback sits at the junction of two conflicting human desires. We do want to learn and grow. And we also want to be accepted just as we are right now. Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this tension head on. It explains why getting feedback is so crucial yet so challenging, and offers a powerful framework to help us take on life’s blizzard of off-hand comments, annual evaluations, and unsolicited advice with curiosity and grace.
The business world spends billions of dollars and millions of hours each year teaching people how to give feedback more effectively. Stone and Heen argue that we’ve got it backwards and show us why the smart money is on educating receivers— in the workplace and in personal relationships as well.
Coauthors of the international bestseller Difficult Conversations, Stone and Heen have spent the last ten years working with businesses, nonprofits, governments, and families to determine what helps us learn and what gets in our way. With humor and clarity, they blend the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical, hard-headed advice. The book is destined to become a classic in the world of leadership, organizational behavior, and education.

This workbook provides an 8-session study exploring the biblical truths behind the practical tools and facilitates discussion for turning even the most frustrating feedback into opportunities to drive your own personal, professional and spiritual growth.
Recebemos feedback todos os dias, de amigos, familiares, chefes e até estranhos. Sabemos que ele é essencial para o desenvolvimento profissional e para manter as relações saudáveis, mas nós frequentemente o rejeitamos. Queremos aprender e crescer, mas também buscamos ser aceitos e respeitados. Obrigado pelo feedback aborda essa tensão diretamente. Douglas Stone e Sheila Heen argumentam que, embora o mundo dos negócios gaste bilhões de dólares todo ano ensinando às pessoas como dar feedback de modo mais efetivo, estamos operando no polo errado: o mais inteligente é educar os receptores — tanto no trabalho quanto nas relações pessoais. São eles, afinal, que interpretam o que estão ouvindo e decidem se e como mudar.
De maneira bem-humorada e lúcida, os autores nos ensinam a aceitar a enxurrada de comentários, avaliações e conselhos não solicitados com interesse e leveza e nos ajudam a aprender efetivamente com qualquer pessoa. Este livro está destinado a se tornar um clássico no mundo da liderança, comportamento organizacional e educação.
