Last year when my book was released, I was invited shortly after to speak to a group at LinkedIn. LinkedIn staff were kicking off year two of their book club, and had chosen to do so with Read to Lead.
My invitation to join that group came from Dan Horowitz, LinkedIn’s senior director of LinkedIn ads. It was a great experience.
Recently, Dan reached out and introduced me to author Ann Latham. Ann has written several books and hundreds of articles over the years.
I soon dove into her new book called The Disconnect Principle: Eliminate Difficult Conversations with Clarity and Empathy.
The Disconnect Principle provides the missing link that will change the way you think about feedback, accountability, and performance management forever. This is the approach that will allow you to be the empathic and effective manager, employee, or peer that you would like to be.

In today’s episode, I ask Ann to share:
- How you can all but eliminate difficult conversations
- What to do about the assumptions we so often make about other people
- How the disconnect principle ensures you’re doing “with” and not doing “to” in your relationships
- And lots more!
