From the Back Cover
Consider that 20 to 50 percent of a technology professional’s time is spent communicating with others. Whether you are writing a memo, preparing a set of procedures, or making an oral presentation, effective communication is vital to your professional success. This anthology delivers concrete advice from foremost experts on how to communicate more effectively in the workplace. Beer includes discussions of a variety of approaches such as:
- writing technical documents that are clear and effective,
- giving oral presentations more confidently,
- presenting information visually through graphics,
- holding productive meetings, and
- becoming an effective listener.
In addition, you’ll find that each article is aimed specifically at the needs of engineers and others in the technology professions, and is written by a practicing engineer or a technical communicator. All the articles are brief and to the point.
