Product Description
Review
There is great power in his idea that we construct the world and become effective when we get this, share this, and get interested in the stories of others. This book makes leadership accessible to all, even the quiet, shy, avoid-eye-contact ones among us. It is also written with elegant simplicity. Buy it, read it, pass it around. (Peter Block, Partner at Designed Learning; author of Community, the Structure of Belonging )
Product Description
Hidden agendas, unresolved conflicts, crucial issues never discussed—these examples of drama in the office are what the author calls, interpersonal mush. Conflicts or issues can dominate the workplace and hamper honest communication. Clear Leadership directly tackles these issues by providing specific tools and techniques; as well as personal stories of individuals who have put the principles and practices of Clear Leadership into action. Beginning with exploring interpersonal qualities, employees can achieved outstanding results for themselves and their organizations. Expanding on the powerful concepts that made the first edition a success, this fully revised edition looks beyond what it takes to lead performance. Clear Leadership now includes 23 skill-building exercises, dozens of case examples, and alternative thinking about approaches to conversations. Additional chapters put a sharper focus on ways the original model of the four selves (the Aware Self, the Curious Self, the Appreciative Self, and the Descriptive Self) can help us all learn from our collective experiences, avoid miscommunication, and cut through the mush.

a masterpiece, Oct 8 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clear Leadership: Sustaining Real Collaboration and Partnership at Work (Paperback)
I have tried to attack the beast of organizational learning the hard way, i.e. reading books from authors like Chris Argyris. I am so glad I came upon this book.Highly practical, though not too academic, solidly researched this book is a pleasure to read.
Examples and case stories make this book an easy read.
To apply it, that's another story. unfortunately, it appears to be quite difficult to find a certified trainer for clear leadership. But that's not a problem of the book.
The exercises are also very useful.
I highly recommend this book.

Thoughtful guide to turning an office into a collaborative workplace, July 5 2010
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clear Leadership: Sustaining Real Collaboration and Partnership at Work (Hardcover)
A chapter in Something Happened, the 1974 novel by Joseph Heller, starts: "In the office in which I work there are five people of whom I am afraid. Each of these five people is afraid of four people (excluding overlaps) for a total of 20, and each of these 20 people is afraid of six people, making a total of 120 people who are feared by at least one person...[Everyone is] afraid of the 12 men at the top who helped found and build the company." That's a lot of fear. Does this environment sound familiar? Distrust, depression and anxiety are endemic in many organizations. According to professor and consultant Gervase R. Bushe, such negative emotions often result from the "interpersonal mush" that plagues offices. He details a program you can use to help eliminate the mush and create a workplace that fosters partnership and collaboration. getAbstract recommends Bushe's intelligent, well-researched book to all executives, as well as to anyone who wants to learn how to relate to others honestly, openly and straightforwardly.

best EmotionaI Intelligence how-to so far....., Aug 22 2009
By charley m - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clear Leadership: Sustaining Real Collaboration and Partnership at Work (Hardcover)
Busche does a masterful job of applying the theory of EI at the very nuts and bolts heart of what touches our EI buttons. He offers original tools and frameworks that make it possible for anyone to learn, apply, practice and master "leadership" (mastery of ourselves so that we can be effective in our interactions with others).This book is as much a how-to requiring absorption in small bites as it is a treatise on organizational behavior you might read over a weekend. Locally, we have formed a book group starting with this book. It's a great way to really get your head around this marvelous work.
