Synopsis

Few assets are more valuable to careers than the ability to communicate effectively. As adults we spend much of our working time communicating with superiors, co-workers, subordinates, clients, customers, and many other people. Technical skills alone aren't enough for job success; the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively to understand others and work with them smoothly often make the difference between success and failure both for individuals and for organizations.
