<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Jamieson and Gower teach practical tools to help each member of a group skillfully express their core values, concerns, and highest hopes for any undertaking-building a foundation of understanding and respect that can support even the most ambitious goals. Their All-In Method starts with making the implicit explicit so collaborators are able to develop a foundation of empathy and trust"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Discover the Proven "Low Drama, High Joy" Method for Productive, Empathy-Based Communication and Collaboration.</b> <p/>Why do so many organizations, teams, couples, families, and groups who should be working together end up wasting energy on unproductive conflict? Even when everyone has the same general goals, what's often missing is a deeper alignment based on mutual trust, respect, and empathy. With <i>Radical Alignment</i>, top-level life and business coaches (and happily married couple) Alexandra Jamieson and Bob Gower share their potent method for helping groups to stop clashing and start working together--to jump from "we can't" to an enthusiastic "hell yes!" <p/>The essential tool at the heart of <i>Radical Alignment </i>is the All-In Method: a four-step approach to communication designed to increase clarity, minimize miscommunication, honor each person's individuality, and build a shared sense of trust and respect for long-term success. With easy-to-follow instruction, Jamieson and Gower bring you: <p/>- The Foundations of Great Communication--what works, what doesn't, and how to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your own style<br>- The All-In Method--a step-by-step walk-through of this proven approach to getting into radical alignment with others<br>- The Method in Action--examples and exercises for using the All-In Method at work, at home, and in any situation<br>- Scripts, suggestions, guidance, and additional resources for making this a lifelong practice for greater connection and intimacy <p/>"We believe passionately that the world needs more aligned teams in our businesses, organizations, communities, families, and intimate partnerships," write the authors. "This means we need people who are able to have powerful and clear exchanges that build better connections." <i>Radical Alignment </i>brings you a "low drama, high joy" technique to transform the way you collaborate and communicate in every area of your life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Successful communication leads to intentional action, which can only happen with enrollment.
