Part Two – Public Relations
Part Three – Leadership
A fascinating presentation on three topics of its title that deserves to be read. I especially cherish the author's presentation of the continuing practice of "glass ceiling" for women seeking executive posts. Professor Piperopoulos' short article in LinkedIn on the 'glass ceiling' phenomenon is a useful link to this book.

Communication is 'the name of the game' in many aspects of commercial, entreptreneuriall, political as well as academic activities.

31 mai 2017 à 12:22
Informative and useful for media and communication students and for young professionals in the PR field. The leadership section should provide plenty of food for thought to management students.

As a practising engineer I have not had much exposure to the social and behavioural sciences and to business administration/management subjects. Reading this book I confess that I was pleasantly surprised by its style and content. A well done job

Contemporary, informative and useful book. A very interesting and commendable treatment of the old, ubeatable 'glass ceiling' for women managers in 'a man's world'.

In a world filled with media and gadgets enabling us to communicate, this book reminds us of the art of successful communication on a personal as well as on a corporate level.
A must read not only for social science and business students but for those of us involved in the engineering and physical sciences.

Having read previous author's books, it was not a surprise to recognize author’s concise, realistic and pinpointed way of writing. I found extremely successful the well-balanced academic language expressed in a direct and well comprehensive manner that keeps reader’s interest at a high pacing. Professor Piperopoulos as a communication expert, is known for his ability to formulate ideas into realistic, usable and constructive outputs and hence his paraphrased “I communicate therefore I am” intimates the significance of being able to communicate effectively as equal to “I think therefore I am”. Highly recommended for those who are looking for real life ways to improve or use their communication abilities.

The book was able to meet my expectations as on what I wanted to read. The author was very precise as on how he presented these three various concepts which summed up to a high quality material.

Excellent work by Dr. Georgios Piperopoulos on the important subjects of communication, Public Relations and Leadership from ancient Greece to modern times.
These are the fundamental skills that are needed by today's aspiring young entrepreneurs and tomorrow's leaders if they want to be competitive and successful in our modern, information overloaded societies and global markets.
