"Business communications often fail to keep pace with the demand for real-time communications to address mission-critical business needs.

Why Poor Communication Skills Could Kill YOUR Business!

In almost every study that looked at the challenges that businesses face today, "lack of communication" or "poor communication skills" ALWAYS ranked in the top three. Is that the case in YOUR business? Are communication problems hampering your productivity, causing costly mistakes or lowering morale?

WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN SOLVED? Most consultants and trainers focus on one very specific area of communication skills or if they do present an OVERALL SOLUTION, it is a very costly process. You don't have the time or the money to invest in expensive consultants.

WHAT IF you could improve your communication skills—in both your personal and professional life—without having to go to therapy? Now you can have the EXPERTISE OF 14 OF THE TOP COMMUNICATIONS TRAINERS/CONSULTANTS IN THE WORLD at your fingertips in one book!

The Communication Coach II brings together these 14 professionals to share their knowledge of those communication woes that plague most organizations. Most publications are author-centered and give you ONE AUTHOR'S perspective on one very specific challenge. No book has attempted to attack the communication challenge as a whole UNTIL NOW. The Communication Coach II features internationally renowned authors Dr. Marilyn Manning—expert in conflict mediation and change, Jeff Tobe—guru of creativity and innovation, Dr. Manny Steil—a world-expert in listening skills, Sue Hershkowitz-Coore—internationally acclaimed author and 11 others!

So, if you need to better YOUR communication skills or if you want to see what the experts are saying, order your copy of The Communication Coach II today.

First Published: 2001

Description

The modern office doesn't look anything like the office of 25 years ago but they usually have one thing in common—the function of office management. The tasks may be very different today, extending well beyond checking the supply cabinet. But it still comes down to managing the three W's: Workers, Workplace, and Workflow to ensure that the people, the facilities, and the timing of any activity are all part of an orchestrated plan which achieves the results needed.

Office Management is a guide to organizing the essential tasks of an office manager. The role requires a variety of skills and a lot of patience. You have to be a people person who can assemble teams; you have to be a planner and you must be able to set standards and controls to achieve the productivity required; you need to be able to communicate effectively with co-workers and meet their needs and those of your customers. In short, the role is more like a conductor of a symphony than a warden and this book can be your resource for quick review or ready reference.

"A practical guide for increasing office productivity. I recommend it for beginners as will as experienced managers. 'Must' reading for anyone in an office environment."
