Full disclosure: this was a mandatory read for all employees at my work.

It feels like the author thought of two catch phrases and wrote a book around them. There are lots of stories about the author being a successful "fierce" communicator, and lots of advice that is really just basic communication competency, like listening when someone is talking to you. Perhaps revelatory for CEOs and managers (the target demographic), but as an employee I found nothing useful here. ( )

Fierce conversations are a philosophy or approach toward people, and the book addresses how to build solid relationships and success, 1 conversation at a time. You'll learn:
ā€¢ The 4 objectives and 3 core ideas behind fierce conversations; and
ā€¢ The 7 principles to start mastering fierce conversations personally and professionally: Have the courage to investigate reality, Stop hiding and start getting real, Be present (and nowhere else), Confront your toughest challenge now, Follow your Instincts, Take responsibility for your emotional wake, and Use silence purposefully.

This person writes at high school level with elementary school level concepts. If you get something out of this I feel both glad and sorry for you (not saying that to be mean...it is just that to go through life without even a primitive understanding of communication is a real shame). ( )

Wow look at the mixed reviews.
This was recommended to me by one introvert to another, from a conversation about [b:Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking|8520610|Quiet The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking|Susan Cain|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328562861s/8520610.jpg|13387396].
I might get around to reading this, I might not... depending on how well I can remind myself to stop jabbering about and looking for new books to read and just read the ones already on my lists!
