The Concise Reads Management Series gives us some of the important tools in the management tool belt including problem solving, communicating, and building a team. The guides are concise on purpose and should take you no more than an hour or so to read but the principles within them take weeks and months to master. These are essential principles to find success as a manager or leader and therefore it is important that you absorb them and turn them into habits. The Art of Communication: "To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others" -- Tony Robbins Tony Robbins, famous author and life coach, makes the point that communicating has to take into account the audience. This seems simple enough, but take a minute and think about how often you considered the other person or people whom you are addressing. The truth is we try but we don't really try. We communicate in a way that we think is obvious and straightforward for us. In this Concise Reads, you'll get exposure to how to structure and deliver your message.
