Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships (Nonviolent Communication Guides)

“Nonviolent Communication is hands-down one of the best books I’ve read as a business owner, as well as a husband and father. This book is not a new title, but for me, it does much better than other books at unveiling key principles and practices of exceptional communication. It’s also the first book Satya Nadella asked his leadership team to read, which is meaningful.” —Ben Peterson, BambooHR, Recommended by Forbes Human Resources Council as a must-read book for positive impact on how to approach work.

“One of the books I first recommended that everyone read, when I first got on, was Nonviolent Communication, which used to be able to say, look, let us make sure we are empathetic to each other’s needs, because it requires that.” —CNBC Transcript, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Sits Down With CNBC’s Jon Fortt

“If empathy as a measure of emotional IQ is a predictor of success, then Nadella hit the nail on the head by inculcating the corporate giant with the trait from top to bottom. Why else is empathy important? Microsoft is both a services and a product company, and its offerings have to resonate with users. Nadella states: “You have to be able to say, ‘Where is this person coming from? What makes them tick? Why are they excited or frustrated by something that is happening, whether it’s about computing or beyond computing?’” —Harry McCracken’s article in Fast Company
