Four Seconds reveals: • Why listening – not arguing – is the best strategy for changing someone’s mind • Why setting goals can actually harm performance • How to use strategic disengagement to recover focus and willpower • How taking responsibility for someone else’s failure can actually help your team Practical and insightful, Four Seconds provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress.©2015 Peter Bregman (P)2015 HarperCollins Publishers
