PRAISE FOR SCALING CONVERSATIONS

“Dave’s bold mixture of uncomfortable facts and experiences scaling conversations are invaluable. . . . Nobody else has been able to provide this sort of roadmap for leaders to use while navigating the minefields of life as a leader. Leadership is a privilege and you can tell that Dave appreciates that through his natural commitment to diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism. He is before his time.”
―FOREST T. HARPER, JR., President and CEO at INROADS

“We have scaled algorithmic learning and predictions over the past decade but haven’t quite scaled human judgment and decision making. Yet, an algorithmic competitive edge is fast commoditized and human judgment, built through conversations, remains a bottleneck. Scaling conversations will power a new source of competitive advantage for organizations that want to leverage their stakeholders towards more impactful decisions.”
―SANGEET PAUL CHOUDARY, international bestselling author of Platform Revolution, founder of Platformation Labs, and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader

“MacLeod has cracked the code on one of the great challenges of the social media era: inclusive dialog that can drive meaningful change across and between organizations and communities.”
―GARY A. BOLLES, author of The Next Rules of Work, and Chair for the Future of Work, Singularity University

Aus dem Klappentext

Humans struggle to engage in effective communication as a group’s size increases. After a certain point, only the loudest and most insistent are heard, while the more discreet among us are drowned out and effectively silenced. The strategies typically used by leaders to bring more voices into organizational decisions, like town halls and general surveys, are often ineffective or only for show.

In Scaling Conversations: How Leaders Access the Full Potential of People, executive and author Dave MacLeod delivers a set of invaluable strategies for how leaders can make their communications more inclusive and gain access to the voices of those employees who rarely feel comfortable speaking up.

You’ll learn to make full use of your talent and human capital and gain valuable tools to access the full potential of all members of your organization, make informed decisions that enable unity and cohesion around a commonly shared goal, and decrease employee turnover caused by poor communication.

Scaling Conversations is an invaluable guide to turning down the volume on the most insistent voices and hearing what the “silent majority” has to say.
