22 Talk SHIFTs

Krister Ungerböck · 2020
77/100
👍 Worth It

Ungerböck's fill-in-the-blank communication tools are unusually concrete for a leadership book — you can pick them up mid-conversation the day you read them. The Wall Street Journal bestseller status and the author's real CEO experience running multilingual teams give the advice genuine grounding. A few of the 22 shifts blur together, but the overall package is practical enough to earn its shelf space.
