The Power of Conflict

Speak Your Mind and Get the Results You Want

De: Jon Taffer

Narrado por: Jon Taffer

Star and executive producer of the hit TV show Bar Rescue and New York Times bestselling author of Don't Bullsh*t Yourself, Jon Taffer reveals the transformational power of conflict, sharing his toolkit for arguing smarter—at home, at work, and in life.

Most people try their best to avoid conflict. Bar Rescue host Jon Taffer understands that. Conflict can have negative results. It’s easy to think that the key to a happy workplace or marriage is to avoid conflict. In reality, that’s not the case—the key is to argue smarter.

Enter the Toolkit for Getting Conflict Right. Taffer’s approach is focused on deliberate conflict—otherwise known as “conflict with a purpose.” There are selective and strategic ways to have difficult conversations, and when doing so, to stay aware of your objectives rather than escalating tension unnecessarily. As Taffer explains, “The key is to act affirmatively, constructively, and productively.” Eliminating conflict isn’t always the answer; inevitably there will be times when it will arise. Engaging in conflict can be a way to clear the air, and get to the bottom of issues that, once resolved, can strengthen friendships, ease tensions at work, and address problems before they have a chance to bubble over.

With easy-to-follow advice that shows how to best engage in constructive discourse to get the results you want, The Power of Conflict provides you with the rules to argue smarter, uphold your values, and keep the conversation real. The step-by-step guide starts with the inception of the conflict and carries through the difficult conversation’s conclusion, arming readers with the skills and confidence to fight for their principles.

Love it. Thanks Jon

Jon is such a great role model. Humble but strong, will fight tooth and nail for every inch. I first saw him on bar rescue and he reminded me of my grandfather from the early 80s who I lost at a very young age but the strength of character, moral compass, willingness to dig in and get his hands dirty for others. This is a great book with a lot of great advice for young men and women who have a hard time speaking their mind. I am one of those. Growing up with a “conflict champion” as Jon calls it can leave a person with weak muscles in that area because they have had someone step up and step in for you without request and it becomes a habit. It’s bad for the person being defended because they never learn to step up and defend themselves. This is a great start to learning to flex that muscle and when it’s appropriate to speak up and when to hold your tongue. Thanks Jon appreciate you very much. Also Jon is a great narrator I really wish he narrated his other books. I would pick them up right now if he had

awesomeness 👌

I love it when the author narrates their novel, Jon sounds incredible. special thanks to the producers, editors, audio engineers, and publishers for their work!

Taffer has experience

I’m a big fan of bar rescue and have tremendous respect for Jon. I sought out articles, interviews and his books to see what makes him tick, and in this case it’s all in the title. Jon has tons of experience with confrontation and stating uncomfortable truths that get at the heart of any given situation. He explains how he leverages conflict and emotions in order to steer people towards better outcomes. I found this book insightful and agree with the message.

A Must Read
