It provides excellent examples and simplifies many tough conversations managers hate to have with employees, but now can feel empowered and confident having them with the strategies and information in this book. It is a must read for every HR manager and person in a leadership position!

Title: Excellent Conversation Samples
Review: This is a great book. The writer comes at issues from both legal concerns along with including positivity in language. There are a lot of books like these out there (and I have purchased many of them) and I find myself going back to this one when looking to gather my thoughts.

Title: The word tracks are pure gold!
Review: One of Paul's strengths is his ability to give you a complete script of a conversation--from both sides--so you have words to bring to the table. Sometimes it's incredibly uncomfortable just to read the conversations! If you can't read it, it makes it difficult to say it.One of the top ten books on my professional bookshelf! Perfect gift for someone who has just been promoted.

Title: a keeper for the office at work
Review: This book contains so much little stuff that it is too much to really read all the way through and gain anything in my opinion. So, I keep it in my desk at the office and use it as needed...it does have some great information and advice for sticky situations.

Title: Nice reference tool
Review: I was looking for a reference tool that matched our philosophy and was easy to use. I liked what I read and the other reviews so I took a chance on ordering this. I am an HR mgr and we immediately got this into the hands of two managers who needed to have tough conversations. One manager had years of experience managing people and the other a new manager. The dialogue fits our particular culture where dignity and truth are encouraged in employee communication. I am sure this will be one of our most appreciated resources for a long time to come. The index made it easy to zero in on the specific behavior that needed to be addressed and the topics were thorough enough in the descriptions without being overly wordy or time-consuming for busy managers to read. I also appreciated the author's advice on topics that need to involve HR and or Legal. I also ordered 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews and our first impression is that it will also be very useful.

Review: I liked that this book gave advice but also actual pieces of conversation and examples. Many times that's what I'm looking for with a difficult conversation is: How do I even broach this topic? How should I start off? etc.. I've referred back to this book quite a few times and always came away with a few notes for the meeting I'm about to have. Good purchase if you supervise employees.
