Verbal Judo: Diffusing Conflict Through Conversation
Academic-turned-cop and best-selling author George Doc Thompson describes how tactical language allows leaders to achieve their goals. Daniel Ames, the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics, confirms that managing conflict is a critical predictor of leadership success and shows how what works in the streets converges with recent findings in social science. The workshop was part of the Program on Social Intelligences Science Meets Practice series, which pairs hands-on leadership training with breaking insights in psychology research.
1:00:14 is probably the most important tactic to use on the street in order to gain intel in a situation and keep people calm at the same time. True life saver. I love Verbal Judo! Thank you sir RIP.
