N2  - "Tough talks are never easy, but in her best-selling book, Having Hard Conversations, Jennifer Abrams showed educators how to speak  intentionally with colleagues about work-related issues through a planned, interactive, and personal approach. In this sequel, she moves readers deeper into the nuances of how to prepare for those conversations while building expectations for positive and meaningful outcomes. Putting clarity before accountability, or by being clear about what should be understood before going in, can and will increase the favorable results of those tough talks."--Publisher's website.
