Publisher's summary

What if you had a simple turn-key system for getting the results you want - with anyone? The difference between failure and success lies in how you communicate. Reboot your communication and boost your power - simply through effective speaking and listening.

Frustrated by endless indecisive meetings, lack of alignment, mistrust, blame games, turf wars, toxic colleagues and/or weak performance?

All of these are a result of bad communication. And effective communication can solve them.

But most of us fly blind, simply because we never systematically trained our speaking and listening muscles.

Dr. Zweifel, former CEO, Columbia leadership professor, and award-winning author of best sellers like Strategy-In-Action, has trained and coached over 5,000 executives to communicate effectively.

Now he unpacks the toolbox he developed over three decades of working with CEOs, C-level executives, and even heads of state like Nelson Mandela to reveal the communication secrets of winners.

Communicate or Die is not just a best seller - it’s your system to be a master communicator, take charge of negotiations or conflicts - in meetings, calls, emails, texts, or posts - and rise to the top. Simply by how you speak and listen.

Learn how to:

• Become a master communicator who inspires others.
• Harness the power of your speaking and listening to shape reality.
• Avoid communication disasters of firms like Bridgestone, AOL, or Intel.
• Climb the Matterhorn of Masterful Listening - all seven levels.
• Avoid the Four Deadly Sins of Speaking.
