Nobody likes criticism. Handled poorly, it too often stings and breeds resentment—and most of us try to avoid it at all costs.

But criticism—crafted carefully and communicated skillfully—promotes trust and respect, motivates individuals, and serves as a catalyst for change. It has the ability to turbocharge workplaces and careers. If that sounds far-fetched, it’s because few understand how to properly give and receive the kind of critical feedback that brings positive results. The Truth Doesn’t Have to Hurt rejuvenates this powerful but neglected art form. Executives, managers, team leaders—anyone who needs to temper praise with a dose of reality—will learn to:

• Deliver the truth and have it taken as helpful
• Create an atmosphere of acceptance
• Avoid mistakes that sabotage an exchange
• Control how they receive criticism so they benefit—even if it’s badly presented

Ignoring problems or always saying nice things will only maintain the status quo. This research-backed book delivers proven techniques and tools for motivating people and triggering improvement—swiftly and painlessly.

Le Score:

Vous aurez remarqué que la fiche de chaque livre contient un nombre baptisé SCORE.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Il s'agit d'une évaluation communautaire de chaque livre calculée sur une échelle de 0 à 100.

Cette évaluation repose sur une agrégation de diverses quantités qui reflètent la vie de chaque livre au sein de la communauté ScholarVox. Cette vie s'exprime en fréquence de lecture, nombre d'étagères publiques, privées, professorales dans lesquelles le livre est présent.

Un calcul "propriétaire" mélangeant ces quantités vous restitue sous la forme synthétique d'un Score l'intelligence collective incorporée dans chaque livre. Ce Score n'est pas une note scolaire, c'est bien plus un indicateur de l'aura collective du livre.

Car, pour paraphraser Robert Parker, expert ès-notation des vins, " ...there can never be any substitute for your own reading palate nor any better education than reading the book yourself."
