In 2014 Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, attempted to tackle the toxic culture of the company by asking all the senior leaders to read Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg. He was signaling to his executives that he expected them to lead with compassion and empathy. That was nearly 8 years ago and here we are now with some of the same issues cropping up all over the place because of the challenges from the Pandemic. In this episode, Tammy and Louis break down the elements of the book and help listeners understand how they can use empathy, compassion, curiosity, and a collaborative approach to communication to improve their relationships, be more influential, and find more meaning in their interactions.
