Praise for Reading the Room
"If you believe, as I do, that tackling our toughest problems in
organizations and societies will require significant advances in
the human domain of how we think and interact, then you will find
this book a wonderful resource for a healthier future."--Peter
Senge, senior lecturer, leadership and sustainability, MIT Sloan
School of Management; and founding chair, Society for
Organizational Learning (SoL)
"A must-read for anyone truly interested in gaining access to
and managing their own actions/behavior as well as all those we
work with, live with, and interact with. It will shift the way you,
others, and the world occur for you."--Michael C. Jensen, Jesse
Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration, emeritus,
Harvard Business School
"David Kantor is one of the very few master innovators and
theorists in organizational leadership. In this combined story and
practice guide, Kantor helps leaders see the hidden dynamics of the
groups they lead, and the personal and social factors that shape
their relationships with those groups." --Art Kleiner, editor in
chief, strategy+business
"Kantor addresses the fundamental issue that leaders are
surprisingly inept in conversation and in managing groups. Leaders
and managers at all levels should be learning these concepts in
order to improve their own ability to analyze what is going on and
react appropriately."--Edgar H. Schein, professor emeritus, MIT
Sloan School of Management; and author, Helping: How to Offer,
Give, and Receive Help
"An exceptional book in the true sense of the word. It stands
alone in its grasp of what it takes to succeed as a leader. It's
not simply about mastering the five forces, milking cash cows,
accelerating experience curves, or even spurring disruptive
innovation. It's about reading the room. Leaders who gain mastery
of what David Kantor has to teach in this book will achieve true
success, not just as leaders, but as people." --Diana M. Smith,
chief executive partner, New Profit Inc.; and author, The Elephant
in the Room: How Relationships Make or Break the Success of Leaders
and Organizations
"There are only a few wise masters in the world when it comes to
any real understanding of leader-ship, and even fewer who share
their secrets. David Kantor is one of them, and in Reading the Room
we have brilliantly laid out before us both a unique lens and a
highly practical method that will change for good the way you lead,
and more, the way you think. Not to be missed " --William Isaacs,
author, Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together; and senior
lecturer, MIT Sloan School of Management
