Recommendation

Clinical psychologist Henry Cloud shares his strategies for negotiating endings, in business and in life. No one likes endings, even for positive change. Ending something that isn’t working is a wise, courageous decision. Cloud shows how to handle endings with skill, clarity and proper intent. He illuminates how businesses can falter and relationships fester due to an inability to accept that a time has come when things aren’t working. The author also covers navigating endings in everyday life. Cloud’s engaging and thoughtful advice will benefit you when you face your own inevitable endings. 

Take-Aways

  • Endings don’t have to be bad if they are done well.
  • Stop bad behaviors in order to start good ones.
  • Once you understand how pruning helps business, incorporate it into your workplace culture.
