Communicate or Die: Getting Results Through Speaking and Listening (21st Century Leader Series Book 3)

Frustrated by endless indecisive meetings, lack of alignment, mistrust, blame games, toxic colleagues, turf wars, and/or weak performance? All of these are a result of bad communication.
Communicate or Die is not just a bestsellerâ€”itâ€™s your system to be a master communicator, take charge of negotiations or conflictsâ€”in meetings, calls, emails or textsâ€”and rise to the top. Simply by how you speak and listen.
Dr. Zweifel, former CEO, Columbia professor and award-winning author of bestsellers like Strategy-In-Action and The Rabbi and the CEO, unpacks the toolbox he developed over three decades of working with heads of state (including Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton), CEOs and C-level executives, but also slum dwellers in Haiti and India, to reveal the communication secrets of successful leaders.

Often leaders have a great vision, but donâ€™t know how to communicate their strategies and turn them into results. Just as often, a companyâ€™s staff has insight and ideas that never makes it to the top. In short, the difference between a good and a great company may lie in their communication. In this action-packed, quick and fun read (communication fiascos can be hilarious!), Dr. Zweifel shows you:

â€¢How to prevent communication disasters at AOL, Bridgestone, DaimlerChrysler, Enron, Intel, Microsoft and Nikeâ€”but also the miscommunications that led to 9/11, which Dr. Zweifel witnessed first-hand, pp.xiii.

â€¢How, in an age of highly mobile knowledge workers, you keep the loyalty of colleagues and customers , and have your team go into the trenches with you, p7.

â€¢The 4 Quadrants of Communication as a diagnostic tool to leverage the full power of language to shape realityâ€”like Gandhi, Kennedy, King or Mandela, but also CEOs like Michael Cowpland of Corel, p17.

â€¢The 4 key conversations to have anyone, anywhere do what you want (without being pushy).This killer-app will help you win any argument, negotiate effectively and build trust and win-wins, p21.

â€¢How IBM, GE, Allied Signal and Abbott Laboratories built their listening muscleâ€”perhaps their smartest investmentâ€”to turn around their companies, p31.

â€¢The 7 levels of the Matterhorn of Masterful ListeningÂ® (no, listening is not like a light switch to turn on or off). Dr. Zweifel shows you how to leverage the full repertoire of listeningâ€”a free commodityâ€”to get what you want, p33.

â€¢How to gain power in any conversation by reading between the lines, p44.

â€¢The 8th level, the secret power of master orators like King that you wonâ€™t find anywhere else: Step into your audienceâ€™s shoes and shape how they listen to you. This is also the key to unstoppable leadership, p51.

â€¢A hilarious cookie-break (and warning): You can actually listen too muchâ€”massive understandings between women and men, p56.

â€¢The 9 iron-clad rules for listening that gets results, p60.

â€¢How to avoid the 4 Deadly Sins of Speaking and eliminating wasteful chatterâ€”by moving people from gossip, complaints, judgment, blame or excuses to commitment and action, with use cases, p64.
