Talk is (Not!) Cheap: The Art of Conversation Leadership

Jim McCann has spent his career talking. For McCann, the founder and CEO of the world’s largest florist, 1-800-Flowers.com, being open and ready to speak to a variety of audiences is his most powerful leadership tool. In Talk Is (Not!) Cheap, McCann illustrates how the art of conversation leadership—the process he developed to engage others and create forward momentum in the workplace—can be used to inspire, innovate, and win. Using a blend of how-to and insightful personal stories, this book argues that the gift of gab may just be the most critical (and undervalued) skill set in today’s workplace.

Lessons include how to overcome hesitation when diving into conversation with stran¬gers and knowing when to just “shut up and listen!” McCann’s practical advice comes from twenty years of experience as the voice of small business, and from meeting and exchanging ideas with other influential business leaders around the world.

Whether you’re interacting with customers, pitching new business to a client, or seeking to be heard within your own company, Talk Is (Not!) Cheap will strategically transform the way you communicate and listen. With McCann as your guide, this important book will teach you how the art of conversation leadership can improve and joyously change your life.

网友对Talk is (Not!) Cheap: The Art of Conversation Leadership的评论

The author gave a lot of useful examples of how conversation transforms people and situations. However, I couldn't help feeling this was an advertisement for his own business, as 90% of the examples he gave were from his own business.

I bought the CD before launch because I wanted to listen while driving back and forth into the city every day. When I got them, I was waiting for a fuse to arrive so the system in my car could work. I was so anxious I bought it on my Kindle and the actual book. I have read Mr. McCann's "Don't Forget to Smell the Roses" and loved his story.

I honestly wondered if it would be about Communication 101, but it wasn't. I have to find the right words to say this...it was a man (Mr. McCann) who has succeeded against all odds and in this book he writes about his journey. How important communication is to his customers, his co-workers, and his family. The way I see it is, I'm being told by a man who has achieved the American Dream how he did it - and still does it - by communicating. It's very inspiring as opposed to a checklist. It made me connect to my own ways I communicate with others and thought of ways I could do some things better. This man is a remarkable person!

Ever since I first listened to the tapes of "Stop and Sell the Roses" I really like Jim and his writing style. As soon as I saw this book I bought the Kindle and Audible versions at the same time and got the full immersed experience. If you haven't yet read and listened to a book at the same time yet, DO TRY!!! Loved hearing the story continue and the worldwide growth of 1-800-FLOWERS. It gave me the spark to really look into starting a foundation at our company that makes a difference in our community. If that is the only inspiration that would be worth every minute. Although there are several tidbits that I will be sharing throughout the organization that I learned from Jim in this great book. NICE WORK!!!

Unless you have the same personality as the author, you won't get much out of this book. According to a study, about 25-40% of the population is introvert. Perhaps the book is intended for those fit into the 60-75% of the population. For many introverts, talk is definitely not cheap.

Can't play MP3 -CD in my car or laptop. Had to buy a DVD writer 45.00 and still doesn't work.

A quick read on business and life that doesn't try to re-invent the wheel but lnstead help it spin smoothly. Jim McCann details the need we have to connect with all the people we have in our lives: family, friends, co-workers and business associates.
