everyone would use these 5 Phases.<\/p>\n<p>But, having had the honor of working alongside some of the world\u2019s greatest leaders, I have come to realize that those abilities and qualities are the rare gift of a few who come along once in a generation . . . those like Nelson Mandela . . . those one-in-a-hundred-million human beings who innately grasp and live by those principles, which author Michael Norwood now has encapsulated for everyone to discover and benefit from in their own lives and relationships.<\/p>\n<p>I wish\u00a0<em>The 5 Phases of Speaking Your Truth<\/em>\u00a0had been written 50 years ago. I was a student then, just beginning my studies in Overseas Economic and Social Development. I would later serve as the head of USAID (US Agency for International Development) in South Africa from 1992 through mid-1996. I was under mandate from the U.S. Congress and State Department to help speed the transition in South Africa from apartheid to a democratic society and to help train the majority population for a leadership role in a post-apartheid South Africa. The USAID mission in South Africa had a budget of approximately $60 million annually to assist Mandela and his new government after more than a half-century of repressive and brutal white minority rule.<\/p>\n<p>I also served as the acting mayor of Baghdad, Iraq and the acting governor of Baghdad province in 2004. That was after the U.S. Army took over Iraq and until we could help establish and train a democratic Iraqi government. It would have been nice to have had Michael Norwood sitting there on the sidelines, helping to keep us going. The 5 Phases are so essential in maintaining proper relationships and still move towards the common goal, in this case achieving a peaceful transition.<\/p>\n<p>In both South Africa and Iraq, the \u201cmy way or the highway\u201d approach of dictatorial regimes eventually fell, as do all regimes that rule by such primitive might-makes-right ways. The difference\u00a0<em>The 5 Phases<\/em>\u00a0would have made to those governments, or to those negotiating with them, would have been exceptional.<\/p>\n<p><em>The 5 Phases<\/em>\u00a0are a prescription not just for striving toward world peace, but peace in all our personal relationships, as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

struggling entity or in taking any company to greater heights of success. It is one of the most essential skills in transforming a culture and changing peoples\u2019 ingrained behaviors, and yet not undermining those efforts by creating destructive animosity and division. This was one of the key reasons my team and I were able to turn Scientific Atlanta into a market leader in its businesses, convert its losses into strong profits, and quintuple the stock price over 7 years.<\/p>\n<p>The principles Michael Norwood espouses in his book, \u201cThe 5 Phases of Speaking Your Truth,\u201d will be of tremendous value to any leader, boss, politician, or Head of State in creating unity and harmony in their organizations. Indeed, I have found these principles to be transformative in\u00a0 any relationship \u2013 personal, business, political, parental, spousal, or educational. His principles transcend the fine line between tough bluntness and tactful diplomacy that turns potential adversaries into loyal partners, team members, or clients.<\/p>\n<p>If this book had been required reading for society\u2019s leaders decades ago, the world would be a better place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a9dd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"55a9dd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>\u2013 William E.

For 3 years I was the only woman among 130 men in Great Britain\u2019s most prestigious club, which included His Highness Prince Charles and other Heads of State. It was challenging dealing with an ever-voracious press looking for gossip, and the high-wired act of communicating as a gentle-natured woman operating in a man\u2019s world. There were many instances that needed to be negotiated in a diplomatic manner that otherwise could have made me a target of ridicule and unwarranted attention whether by the public, the press or by other players.<\/p>\n<p>Later, in my career as a sculptress, which took me to Europe, the Arab Emirates and America, commissioned by Heads of State and Fortune 500 Companies, I was required to conduct myself in a way that was effective in a male-dominated world, yet still retaining my integrity as a woman.
