Chapter 8 mentions 'collaboration among organizational groups' which is a vital strategy to ease out a difficult conversation. Patients require involvement of several groups in a hospital which can only treat successfully if there is a positive collaboration between the departments. For example, nursing, and physical therapy are important parts of a patient's treatment (Grenny, Patterson, Switzler, & Macmillan, 2002); their policies and procedures are also similar so collaborating effectively will help them in a successful treatment of the patient rather than both the departments fighting over schedules and ruining the hospital's environment.

America 1945-1960 The book, The Crucial Decade and After: America 1945-1960, published in 1966, is about the transformation of the post-World War II peace into the globalization of the Cold War.
