The authors take care to include only ideas that have been supported by academic research, borne out by their own experiences as consultants, and reported as useful by their students and clients. The techniques described will help leaders, middle managers, and management students harness the power of self-change, test assumptions about others, clear negative emotions, bridge cultural differences, and deal with difficult situations. An ongoing story, based on real conversations between consultants and clients, students and instructors, and between colleagues, illustrates key principles. Boxes are included summarizing recent research supporting the techniques. * Reference \u0026amp; Research Book News *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 1 Matt's Story: An Introduction to Conscious Change \u003ci\u003ePlan of the Book\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhy This Book?\u003c\/i\u003e 2 Testing Assumptions \u003ci\u003eMental Models: Short-cuts to Perception\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBeing in the Answer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaking Up Stories\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBeing in the Question\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eChoosing to Test Assumptions\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eRetraining Neural Pathways\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuilding Positive Emotions\u003c\/i\u003e 3 Clearing Emotions \u003ci\u003eEmotions and Feelings\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Emotionally Flooded Manager\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Suppressed Emotions\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePreventing Self-fulfilling Prophecies\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eClearing Emotions: The Process\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhat Results Can You Expect?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eOther Sources of Help\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuilding Positive Emotions\u003c\/i\u003e 4 Building Effective Relationships \u003ci\u003ePowerful Listening\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eInquiry\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eOpenness\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eGiving Feedback\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eReceiving Feedback\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSeeking Feedback\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhat If the Other Person Really Is the Problem?\u003c\/i\u003e 5 Bridging Differences \u003ci\u003eDominants and Nondominants\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDominance Dynamics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDominants' Blind Spots\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcute Awareness of Nondominant Status\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDominance Dynamics at the Organizational Level\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFrom Guilt to Learning and Contribution\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBridging Differences: Antidotes to Dominance Dynamics\u003c\/i\u003e 6 Conscious Use of Self \u003ci\u003eGet Your Emotional Attachments Out of the Way\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAccept Responsibility for Your Own Contribution\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaintain Integrity\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFocus on the Other Person's Strengths\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAdopt a Learning Orientation\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSeek to Understand Others' Perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eRecognize Your Own Power and Use It Responsibly\u003c\/i\u003e 7 Initiating Workplace Change \u003ci\u003eSteps for Initiating Change\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMoving Forward: A Sequence of Small Wins\u003c\/i\u003e 8 Matt's Story Redux \u003ci\u003eFocusing on Strengths\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBeing in the Question\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuilding Relationships and Bridging Differences\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSeeing Situational Factors, Not Just Individuals\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eClearing Emotions\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eChanging Workplace Dynamics and Relationships through Changing Oneself\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAllowing the Unexpected to Emerge\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eConclusion: Sustaining Hope\u003c\/i\u003e Appendix: Principles for Conscious Change Index","brand":"ABC-CLIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767367893335,"sku":"9780313381249","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780313381249.jpg?v=1758713074","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reframing-change-9780313381249","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
