Mastering Communication at Work: How to Lead, Manage, and Influence
Mastering Communication at Work is based on 45 years of research and working with over half-a-million clients around the world. From leaders of countries to leaders of companies to people just starting out in their career, Becker and Wortmann teach techniques that start with the essential wisdom of Aristotle and include the best practices in today’s global organizations. The book includes interviews with leaders who reveal the inside story of the communication secrets at: The White House List Price: $ 23.00 Price: $ 10.94
Substance rich, most critical nuances brought to life,
As a communications professional, I admit to being skeptical with each new Communications mastery book. A few pages in, I realized that I had stopped evaluating and started learning. What a delight it was to read this! Wortmann and Becker nailed the most important aspects of highly effective communications. Too often, aspiration titans of commerce focus more on the strategic and financial cirriculum within an MBA, without paying close attention to the “difference makers” contained within. Well worth the time to read and learn for this book.

|A wonderful how to…,
This book is an excellent compilation of stories, activities and practices that the reader can begin to apply immediately. Unlike most books that serve as a reference and stop after providing basic theories, this book dives right in to the “how” and empowers you to begin bridging your communication gaps.
After reading chapters of “Mastering Communication at Work” I began practicing based on the suggested activities, and noticed that I was learning a lot more than I had expected. The true measurement of success started when others at work were taking notice and sharing their excitement in regards to our improved communications.
Since sharing these exercises with my teams, we know refer to the book for reference on a frequent basis. Well worth the time to read, but don’t stop there…take action!
