Leadership comes when you learn to declare breakdown: Sameer Dua

What if one could create a life, an organisation or a team of design, rather than that of drift, by getting skilled in creating a future of choice? Talking about his book, Declaring Breakdowns, 

To get meaningful and productive results with other people, the first conversation you need to have is a Conversation for Relationship. Conversations for Relationship create a foundation of workability in which people are free to express their concerns and make open requests. Participants in this conversation relate to each other as a function of their commitments, instead of relating to each other based on the assessments, interpretations and feelings they have about each other. Rather than resigning themselves to patterns of defensive behavior, resentment or cynicism, they focus on building relationships and opening possibilities through their speaking and listening. You either have Conversations for Relationships in organisations, or you pay the price for not having these conversations, and the price is significant - high attrition, low morale of team members, and most importantly, lack of delivery of results. Would you rather have these results, or a short conversation for relationship to understand interests, cares and commitments of the others? In my assessment, this is a no-brainer - and yet - this is blind to many in organsiations.
