"The 1 Book That Transformed Microsoft's Culture from Cutthroat to Creative." -- Satya Nadella , Microsoft CEO, "The 1 Book That Transformed Microsoft's Culture from Cutthroat to Creative." --Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, Inc, "You have to be able to say, 'Where is this person coming from?' he says. 'What makes them tick? Why are they excited or frustrated by something that is happening, whether it's about computing or beyond computing?' There's far more to McCracken's outstanding piece. Nadella gave him a close and honest look at both himself and Microsoft, and the result is a fun must-read." -- Ben Kerschberg , Forbes, "Marshall Rosenberg's dynamic communication techniques transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues and create compassionate connections.

Why else is empathy important? Microsoft is both a services and a product company, and its offerings have to resonate with users.

'I read a few pages here or a few pages there,' Nadella told Fast Company. 'There are a few books, of course, that you read end-to-end. But without books I can't live.' Nadella's time as CEO was initially shaped by Marshall Rosenberg's 'Nonviolent Communication,' which he asked his top executives to read. This was the first indicator to senior leadership that Nadella would not operate like his predecessors. Nadella recommended it to his leadership team, symbolically differentiating his expectations from that of his predecessors. Nonviolent communication integrates qualities like compassion and effective communication to allow for better leadership. Rosenberg writes from a position of experience and research: He has started peace programs in places throughout the world that have experienced the effects of war, including Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Serbia, and Ireland. This book outlines the principles of peaceful conflict resolution. It's interesting to note that one of the concepts involves sharing power with others instead of using power over others. Nadella recommended it to his leadership team, symbolically differentiating his expectations from that of his predecessors. Reports have found that Microsoft used to have a conflict-heavy culture under Steve Ballmer -- now there's nonviolent communication coming from the top." -- Satya Nadella , Microsoft CEO, Business Insider, "Nadella's time as CEO was initially shaped by Marshall Rosenberg's 'Nonviolent Communication,' which he asked his top executives to read.

Synopsis
2,000,000 COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE - TRANSLATED IN MORE THAN 35 LANGUAGES What is Violent Communication? If "violent" means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate --judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's "good/bad" or what's "right/wrong" with people-- could indeed be called "violent communication." What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent Communication is the integration of four things: - Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity - Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance - Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all - Means of influence: sharing "power with others" rather than using "power over others" Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things: - Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection - Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships - Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit, 5,000,000 COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE * TRANSLATED IN MORE THAN 35 LANGUAGES What is Violent Communication?

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

  • Great book to better understand our needs and the communication of them.

    I've bought this book 3 times now. It's been indispensable in understanding what and why I'm communicating and understanding the needs underneath that communication. Great for better understanding the thoughts that come through my head also, as our "negative" thoughts have needs behind them and can be turned into something constructive. Read the book, find a practice group, you'll be glad you did.

  • Help yourself find autonomy

    This book aides one in looking inside to identify one's own needs in life. It has a simple procedure for speaking with others to accomplish this I recommend this book for anyone who wants to effectively communicate
