Non-Fiction: Communication Perspectives
Language matters in effective communication. When people come together to innovate and make effective change, they need to understand where one another is coming from. "Edu-speak" and "corporate speak", for example, can seem like different languages and can often cause misunderstandings. Clear, defined communication is key. Also, elements of perspective must be understood. What are people listening for in this conversation? What is important to them in the outcome? Can we even agree on what the outcome should be? This book explores these challenges and offers insight for people seeking to navigate change.
