Product Description

"Will make you laugh today and provide insights you can use on Monday morning." -Tom Rath, author of How Full is Your Bucket?

Buddha called it the Middle Path, Albert Einstein used it to reconcile competing beliefs about science and religion, and Barack Obama applied it to politics and skyrocketed into the Oval Office.

It's the Triangle of Truth-a concept that is both old and new, and it's the secret to solving problems everywhere from the bedroom to the boardroom and beyond. Drawing on wisdom from some of the world's greatest thinkers, McLeod delivers a problem-solving model that goes beyond either/or thinking, recasting the debate on everything from sex and politics to business and religion. A blend of personal insight, business wisdom, everyday spirituality and humor, The Triangle of Truth is a just-in-time read for anyone who is tired of arguments, angst, and stalemates and is ready for real solutions to every problem, large or small.

Inspirational guide to problem solving
By Rolf Dobelli
Here's a book for anyone who has ever argued with a colleague, bickered with a boss or tried to negotiate a business deal with an important client. Lisa Earle McLeod takes readers on a journey through her life and into the lives of prominent figures to introduce the seemingly simple concept of "The Triangle of Truth," a problem-solving technique based on seven basic principles. The Triangle solution seems both intuitive and potentially transformative, if not always easy to achieve. While a straightforward read, the book is a bit repetitive and often too touchy-feely for the business world. Still, it is optimistic, straightforward, illuminating and full of useful tips, including references to related websites. getAbstract suggests this book to any open-minded business leader or manager interested in solving problems and making peace.

Great for All Positive Work Environments
By Barbara Stahnke
I manage a large WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program in the Atlanta Area. We have a motivated work force who are constantly trying to improve our attitudes towards each other and with our clients. This book offers tools for both. After reading the book, I chose to purchase 18 copes for our supervisory staff's reading group. We read a book and determine how we can utilize the information and tools with our staff and each other to improve service delivery. Although we haven't begun the process of sharing yet...I am excited by the possibilities. The skills of honoring the other's truth will help us toward our goals of Servant Leadership. Hopefully, through our supervisors modeling and explaing the "truth skills" from this book, we will help our staff move even further along the way towards strengths building with our clients. The hoped for outcome....behavior change positively impacting obesity, low birth weight and prematurity. Georgia needs this kind of help. Just wanted to say, I believe and choose to act to assure these skills are applied in our public workforce. This book is intended for everyone both in the work life (public and private sectors) and personal life of individuals.
