Conteúdos

Effective communication in the workplace will build trust, teamwork, improved morale and increased productivity. Insufficient or poor communication will do the opposite. It is imperative that managers and entrepreneurs not only understand the basics of the various communication media, such as speaking, writing and listening, but also know how to apply them on the job. This book discusses the major communication media and shows you how to apply them to the common workplace activities such as supervision, training, delegation, meetings and performance appraisals.
