Susan Scott believes that interpersonal difficulties – at work and at home – are a direct result of our inability to communicate well. Her book Fierce Conversations (2002) taught us how to conduct exchanges more dynamically and ultimately more effectively, thereby improving the relationships we enjoy, “one conversation at a time.”
Prior to it’s release date last month, her much anticipated new book,Fierce Leadership rose to #6 in leadership books on Amazon.com and #440 of all Amazon.com books.
For Susan Scott, the word “fierce”- and “fierce leadership,” – means passionate, bold, robust, unbridled, strong, intense, powerful. In martial arts, senseis have a saying, “You are always practicing something; the question is, What are you practicing?” Fierce leadership is a practice, a way of life, a way of thinking and behaving that a leader can bring into his or her life everyday.
Susan is a best-selling author, leadership development architect, and a recognized thought leader in the global business community for two decades. She is also the founder and CEO of Fierce, Inc.
In 2002, Fierce Conversations—Achieving Success at Work and in Life, One Conversation at a Time, was published in four countries and, shortly thereafter, was listed on The Wall Street Journal and UPI best seller lists, and was one of USA TODAY’S top 40 business books of 2002. Her much anticipated second book - Fierce Leadership: An Alternative to the Worst “Best” Practices in Business Today – was published in September 2009.
“Susan’s new book has serious style, in its best sense, and is a must-read for anyone even remotely thinking about influencing situations and organizations. It’s a jammed-packed compilation of truths and approaches for grounding all those “business how-to’s” in real substance that makes them work. This is on my very short list of books to digest and assimilate.” - David Allen, author of Getting Things Done
“You can start using these ideas tomorrow. Hell, you can start using them today. Susan Scott shows why the received wisdom is wrong, and how we can get it right” - Doug Stone, co-author of the international best-seller Difficult Conversations and Lecturer at Harvard Law School
“Susan Scott nails it again with Fierce Leadership. Her powerful imagery and gift for stylish communication lend her message a stickiness and freshness that makes it impossible to forget. As an author, communicator, and leader Susan is peerless. Once again I’m wowed!!!”- Mark Willis, CEO, Keller Williams
