Description



Book Synopsis



Teams don't get stuck because of poor communication skills. They get stuck because smart, capable people choose not to speak up--and leaders rarely notice until those patterns are hardwired.

People talk in circles, revisit old decisions, and mistake activity for progress. The result is conversational debt--the compound cost of the conversations people avoid. Not because they're afraid, but because they've learned that speaking up doesn't change anything.

Forward Talk exposes this hidden force that quietly drains performance, trust, and alignment. It reveals why the corporate obsession with "psychological safety" has become a bandage for deeper issues, how well-intended teams hide behind politeness, and what it takes to break through the false harmony that prevents real progress.

Drawing on twenty-five years of facilitating high-stakes conversations with Fortune 500 leaders and frontline teams in more than thirty countries, Gustavo Razzetti introduces a research-backed, practice-proven framework for turning stuck conversations into forward movement.

Readers will learn to recognize and reverse the three destructive conversational patterns that keep teams trapped:

    Avoidance: staying silent or skirting the real issue, hoping it resolves itself Blame: focusing on who's at fault instead of what's next Groupthink: chasing false harmony and mistaking agreement for alignment

Through real stories, diagnostic tools, and actionable practices, Forward Talk helps teams rebuild voice, agency, and momentum. It's for leaders, facilitators, HR professionals, and change agents who know that success isn't determined by effort--it's determined by whether people believe their voices matter.
