The silent language of leaders : how body language can help-or hurt-how you lead / by Goman, Carol Kinsey.(CARDINAL)194992;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Aspiring and seasoned leaders have been trained to manage their leadership communication in many important ways: how they provide feedback and motivate employees, how they convey the strategy for their organization, how they interact with major clients or partners. And yet, all their efforts to communicate effectively can be derailed by even the smallest nonverbal gestures such as the way they sit in a business meeting or stand at the podium at a speaking engagement or the amount of eye contact they give in a one-on-one meeting. Despite an abundance of leadership development programs and books that focus on effective communication, there's little understanding of how nonverbal communication affects--positively or negatively--a leader's success. In The Silent Language of Leadership, Carol Kinsey Goman explains that personal space, physical gestures, posture, facial expressions, and eye contact communicate louder than words and, thus, can be used strategically to help leaders manage, motivate, lead global teams, and communicate clearly in the digital age. Drawing on compelling psychological and neuroscience research, she shows leaders how to adjust their body language for maximum effect and offers advice for global business leaders. Some of the advice includes: Avoid shallow breathing while giving a pep talk to employees. Research shows that a shallow breather can make an entire room feel anxious and thus lead listeners to not believe the speaker. When meeting with employees in your organization with whom you don't interact often, give them an eyebrow flash, the rapid raising of the inside corners of the eyebrow. This signal is used mostly involuntarily, for example, when you run into someone you know on the street. But it is also a powerful way to subtly show recognition and interest in someone. At the next business dinner or face-to-face meeting, find a table that allows you to sit at right angles to each other. Research shows that people are more interactive when seated at right angles that when straight across from each other. Next time you're leading a meeting, notice if any audience members cover or block their mouths, which usually indicates skepticism. If you see this gesture, stop talking and address their disbelief: I know some of you have doubts about what I've just said, or, You look skeptical. Can you tell me what your concerns are? Profound changes are shaking up our lives and the kind of leaders the world seeks: sharp economic swings, increasing global competitiveness, new technologies, social and cultural shifts, and the reshaping of our organizations. As the pace of change continues to accelerate, leaders need every tool available, including nonverbal skills to improve their credibility and stay ahead of the curve."--Provided by publisher.

The nonverbal advantage : secrets and science of body language at work / by Goman, Carol Kinsey.(CARDINAL)194992;
The five C's of body language -- Reading the whole body -- The eyes have it -- Face to face -- Talking with your hands -- Feet first -- You're in my space -- The power of touch -- Translating body language across cultures -- Selling your message without saying a word."The workplace is a "blink" world: studies show that we form opinions of one another within seven seconds of meeting and that 93 percent of the messages people receive from us have nothing to do with what we actually say. So good nonverbal communication skills can be a huge professional advantage." "Carol Kinsey Goman combines the latest research and her twenty-five years of experience as a consultant, coach, and therapist in this guide to understanding what you and the people you work with are saying without speaking. Cartoons, photos, anecdotes, and dozens of exercises help readers gain control of the messages their bodies are sending so they can project a more accurate and compelling picture of who they really are to their colleagues, clients, and partners."--BOOK JACKET.

Breaking through bias : communication techniques for women to succeed at work / by Kramer, Andrea S.,author.(CARDINAL)751398; Harris, Alton B.,author.(CARDINAL)412157;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Part I. Understanding gender stereotypes -- The elephant in the room -- The apple in the room -- Part II. Conversations with yourself -- Managing the impressions you make -- Your attitudes matter -- Part III. Conversations with others -- Nonverbal behavior -- Spoken and written behavior -- Part IV. Communicating in difficult situations -- Difficult and tricky interactions -- Meetings -- Advocating for yourself -- Work and the rest of your life.More than fifty years after the beginning of the Women's Movement and forty years after passage of Title IX, women are still not "making it" in traditionally male careers. Women start their careers on parity with men but generally end them far earlier, having achieved less status, lower compensation, and less satisfaction than men. Breaking Through Bias explains that it is the stereotypes about women, men, work, leadership, and family that hold women back, and it presents an integrated set of communication techniques that women can use to avoid the discriminatory consequences of these stereotypes. Women define career success in a wide variety of ways. But whatever a woman's personal definition, if she is in a traditionally male-dominated career--virtually all high status, highly compensated fields--her career is at risk because of pervasive gender stereotypes. This highly practical book makes clear that women don't need to change who they are to succeed in their chosen careers, and they certainly don't need to act more like men. Women do, however, need to be attuned to the negative gender stereotypes that surround them; they need to anticipate the biases these stereotypes foster, and they need to manage the impressions they make to avoid or overcome these biases. Based on the authors' personal experiences as business leaders and practicing attorneys, involvement in compensation and hiring decisions, extensive mentoring activities, and numerous scientific and academic studies, Breaking Through Bias presents unique, practical, and effective advice about how women can at last break through gender bias in the workplace and win at the career advancement game.
