They Just Don't Get It explores an all-too-common dilemma: what to do when people around us just don't get it. Through the use of a charming illustrated fable, Yerkes and Martin tell the story of Julie Buffet, a hard-charging executive with what she thinks is a fantastic idea. But nobody gets it -- not the client, not her boss, and not her coworkers. And Julie doesn't understand why.

We have all found ourselves in this situation and we typically view the problem as a failing on THEIR part. They Just Don't Get It! shows us that changing resistance into understanding is a conscious decision that's more about us than it is about them.

This delightful little book will provide you with a process that will help you build mutual understanding and shared commitment instead of perpetuating resistance and misunderstanding. Along the way, you'll become a better communicator of ideas and an inspired motivator of people -- personally and professionally. And you'll learn how to help people pull together instead of pulling apart.
