Join leadership expert Rhett Laubach and learn the successful strategies leaders use to manage difficult conversations. Leadership Principles for Difficult Conversations (Tribal RoadStar Program - Course 13) - Difficult conversations are just about as fun as a root canal, but they are many times easier than the pain of not getting the root canal. Effective leaders make difficult conversations happen because they are necessary for growth, excellence and the long-term health of an organization or team.
