AIM FOR IMPACT: ESSENTIALS FOR RURAL HEALTH LEADERS
CRUCIAL CONVERSATION BOOK STUDY
It is not always easy to have a conversation with one of your colleagues, a
customer or patient, a board member or partner organization; sometimes
the stakes are high and the opinions are diverse. One of the key ideas of
Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High by Kerry
Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler is that we only really
have control of ourselves. The authors had set out to research what made
some people especially effective and their answer; some people were very
good at getting relevant information out into the open in order to make the
best decisions. They have suggestions for skills and approaches that will help
all of us identify and hold crucial conversations.
Any time you find yourself stuck, there are crucial conversations keeping you
there. Identify the crucial conversations that you’re not holding, or not
holding well, and get better at everything.
In this book study we will use two 1 hour webinars to share our insights and
learning after reading the same chapters of Crucial Conversations.
Deliverables:
By the end of this book study, you will be able to:
Name three characteristics that make a conversation “crucial”.
Define two methods to keep it safe enough to get relevant information
in the open.
Separate facts from assumptions and inferences.
Describe the “path to action” taken by each person in a crucial
conversation.
Outline the steps to come to a shared agreement following a dialogue.
