Conversation-powered leadership How can leaders make their big or
growing companies feel small again? How can they recapture the
"magic"--the tight strategic alignment, the high level of employee
engagement--that drove and animated their organization when it was
a start-up? As more and more executives have discovered in recent
years, the answer to this conundrum lies in the power of
conversation. In Talk, Inc., Boris Groysberg and Michael Slind show
how trusted and effective leaders are adapting the principles of
face-to-face conversation in order to pursue a new form of
organizational conversation. They explore the promise of
conversation-powered leadership--from the time-tested practice of
talking straight (and listening well) to the thoughtful adoption of
social media technology. And they offer guidance on how to balance
the benefits of open-ended talk with the realities of strategic
execution. Drawing on the experience of leaders at diverse
companies from around the world, Talk, Inc., offers provocative
insights and user-friendly tips on how to make organizational
culture more intimate, more interactive, more inclusive, and more
intentional--in short, more conversational.
