Micromessaging: Why Great Leadership is Beyond Words

Leaders can undermine their own goal with micromessaging - gestures, expressions, a tone of voice that contradicts the message being spoken.  The book's key message is self-awareness.  If you want to succeed in influencing others, don't send mixed messages.  Make sure any micromessages you send are positive ones.

Crucial Confrontations:  Tools for Resolving Broken Promises, Violated Expectations, and Bad Behavior

Very few people enjoy confrontation and some avoid it completely.  But leaders who hope to change minds must learn to deal with it constructively, say the authors.  In a survey they conducted, they discovered that "opinion leaders wielded influence because they were the best at stepping up to colleagues, coworkers, or even their bosses, and holding them accountable."  A six-step process for mastering the crucial confrontation is included.  BONUS - You can take a FREE online self-assessment offered by these authors at www.vitalsmarts.com/styleunderstress.aspx.
