Do you invite people to be open with you, and to push back on your thoughts and ideas? And when you have “fierce” conversations, do you deepen your connection or push people away as a result?

This week on the TalentGrow Show, we’re rebroadcasting Halelly’s conversation with Susan Scott, best-selling author and leadership development architect, to explain what fierce conversations are and why we NEED to have more of them. Susan shares a common obstacle we all face when having these types of conversations – both at work in our personal lives – and how to overcome it. She also talks about how to be open and more transparent and invite this kind of openness from others (and what some of us might be doing to hinder that). Susan and Halelly explore why she thinks careful conversations are almost always failed conversations and the concept of radical transparency, which Susan advocates, and the difference between fierce leaders and other leaders. And of course, Susan shares one actionable suggestion that will help you upgrade your leadership and will make a HUGE difference in the quality of your conversations and your relationships. You should really begin doing it, today! Listen and don’t forget to share with others.
