Why Communication Fails and What To Do About It
An essential guidebook for honing business communication skills.
Communications expert Dianna Booher provides an essential nine-point checklist for success in the art of communication and persuasion—for building solid relationships, and for increasing credibility in the workplace:
• The Law of Trust vs Distrust
• The Law of Collaboration vs Monologue
• The Law of Simplicity vs Complexity
• The Law of Tact vs Insensitivity
• The Law of Potential vs Achievement
• The Law of Distinction vs Dilution
• The Law of Specificity vs Generalization
• The Law of Emotion vs Logic
• The Law of Perspective vs Hearing
With examples from politics, pop culture, business, family life, and current events, the book also identifies common reasons that communicators fail to accomplish their goals, along with illustrations and analyses of messages that succeed and those that fail. Concise and practical, the book supplies readers with communication principles that will help increase impact with pitches, PR, presentations, offers, emails, feedback, or customer service.
