Crucial Confrontations

Crucial Confrontations® explores a step-by-step process for identifying and resolving performance gaps by using a hands-on problem-solving approach. Individuals learn to enhance accountability, improve performance, and ensure execution in the midst of confrontation.

Confrontations are about in-the-moment face-to-face accountability. Crucial confrontations comprise the very foundations of accountability, and when they are handled poorly, they result in failed promises, missed expectations, lack of accountability, and bad behavior. Put Crucial Confrontations Training to work and make rapid and substantial improvements in individual, team, and organizational results.
