About Stewart Levine...
Stewart improves productivity
while saving the enormous cost of conflict using “Agreements for Results” and
“Resolutionary” conversational models. As a lawyer he realized fighting is ineffective in resolving problems.
At AT&T
he learned why collaborations fail: people do not create clarity about what
they want to accomplish, and how they will get there. He has worked across the
organizational spectrum – Fortune 500, small, government and non-profit. His
“Cycle of Resolution” is included in the “Change Handbook, 2d Edition.” His
book "Getting to Resolution: Turning Conflict into Collaboration”
(Berrett-Koehler 1998, 2009) was an Executive Book Club Selection; Featured by
Executive Book Summaries; named one of the 30 Best Business Books of1998; and
called “a marvelous book” by Dr. Stephen Covey. It has been translated into
Russian, Hebrew and Portuguese. “The Book of Agreement” (Berrett-Koehler 2003)
has been endorsed by many thought leaders, called “more practical” than the
classic “Getting to Yes” and named one of the best books of 2003 by CEO
Refresher (www.Refresher.com). Along
with Davd Coleman he wrote “Collaborate 2.0” that was released in February 2008.
He teaches communication, relationship management and conflict management
skills for The American Management Association, the University of
