Inhaltsangabe

Research shows that successful businesses are those where employees are really engaged - how do they achieve this? Complex organisation initiatives or something more personal? In today's world of work, with all its jargon, processes, Kpis and technology, we have forgotten a simple truth: the power of authentic, two-way, human conversations to build relationships, trust, and engagement. This book comes from 30 years of learning from world-class organisations, tried and tested leadership coaching techniques and emergent thinking on neuroscience and employee behaviour. The result is a simple guide to why, when and how to hold five critical conversations with people you manage, which - with a little courage and authenticity - have been proven to dramatically improve trust, relationships, motivation and performance at work. Try them!

Nick gained particular corporate expertise in leading international projects, participating in merger and acquisition activity and significant organisational change programmes, as well as designing and implementing learning and development architecture. As a Director of The Oxford Group, he has a particular responsibility for acquiring and growing client relationships over the long term. He also leads the development of our Management Development services and works as an Executive Coach. In 2013, Nick led the development of The Oxford Group's 5 Conversations programme, the concept from which this book was created.Nigel is an experienced facilitator, writer and speaker whose passion lies in developing management and leadership capability in both new and senior leaders in organisations worldwide. He is Chairman and Director of The Oxford Group, which he co-founded in 1987 following a career in HR and business management with the Mars Corporation and Burmah Oil. Under Nigel's leadership The Oxford Group has grown from its roots as a small company specialising in behavioural assessment to a global consultancy providing leadership and management development as well as executive coaching.
