Talk Is Cheap.
Let's Have a Conversation What the new economy needs now is a good chat, says Oxford University professor Theodore Zeldin, who wants us to have conversations about the emotional, intellectual, and cultural dimensions of work. If you want to create change in the workplace, start a conversation. So says Theodore Zeldin, Oxford University historian, philosopher, author, management consultant, and BBC radio personality. The soft-spoken sexagenarian might seem an unlikely expert on talk. So companies, he argues, need to be reinvented to allow us to do work that we will find enjoyable, and that will make us better people.
