The Difficult Conversation You Keep Putting Off | High-Fidelity Leadership

What’s the difficult conversation you keep meaning to have? Explore the book and download the free companion guide: https://barrymarshallgraham.com/book/... You’re driving to work, rehearsing what you’ll say. By the time you arrive, you’ve had the conversation twenty times in your head. Then you see the person, say good morning, and carry on as though nothing needs saying. In this video, I read an extract from ‘The Cost of Silence’, the introduction to my book High-Fidelity Leadership. It explores why capable, caring leaders put off difficult conversations, and what happens while we wait for a better moment. High-Fidelity Leadership is out now in Kindle, paperback and hardback. The book works through ten workplace conversations, with preparation questions, adaptable scripts and 3-2-1 Snapshots you can return to when you need a quick reference. If you’ve been curious about coaching but haven’t felt ready to take that step, it also gives you somewhere practical to begin, at your own pace. As you listen, keep one person and one conversation in mind.
