Over the past 15 years Nancy Kline has identified 10 behaviors that
form a system called a Thinking Environment, a model of human
interaction that dramatically improves the way people think, and thus
the way they work and live.
The power of effective listening is recognized as the essential tool of
good management. In this book, Kline describes how we can achieve this,
and presents a step-by-step guide that can be used in any situation.
Whether you want to have more productive meetings, solve business
problems or build stronger relationships, this book offers you a new
world of possibilities.
Nancy created and pioneered the development of The Thinking Environment
and is Founder and President of Time To Think. A published author and
public speaker, she also teaches Time To Think courses, leads the Time
To Think Faculty and delivers keynote presentations around the world.
Time To Think began in 1984 and grew out of Nancy's consulting and
teaching work near Washington, DC, where she had served as a Founding
Director of The Thornton Friends School for twelve years and as Director
of The Leadership Institute for six years. She is a Fellow of Ashridge
Management College, UK, and the International Listening Association's
Listener of the Year 2010.
Nancy was born and raised in New Mexico and lives in England with her
