You can't change people, you can only change yourself. This widespread opinion, as the authors of the book show, turns out to be fundamentally wrong. The ability to inspire others and help them change for the better is not just a useful talent, but an essential professional skill for leaders of all levels, from CEOs of large companies to school teachers. How to encourage conflict employees to work in a team? How to unlock the potential of an insecure person for the good of a common cause, support a partner, help get rid of false beliefs and become happier? The world's number one business coach Peter Bregman and his colleague Howie Jacobson believe this can be achieved in four steps: first transform from critic to ally, together define the desired outcome and opportunities to achieve it, and then build a detailed plan. After reading their book, you will learn how to act to gain the trust of relatives, colleagues and partners, inspire them with self-confidence and help them change for the better.
