About the Author:

Dr. Tom Means taught business communication courses at Louisiana Tech University for 25 years. Because he believes that strong communication skills are critical to a person�s success and individual satisfaction, he taught his business communication courses with simplicity, intensity, and enthusiasm. His classroom assignments were practical and as real-world as possible yet involved both writing and interpersonal skills. As department head, he developed and led a business advisory council which helped develop departmental curriculums. He is an active member of the Association for Business Communication and has served as President of its Southwest region. In recognition of his teaching, service, and research, Dr. Means was named one of Louisiana Tech University�s Distinguished Professors in 1994.
