Use this to help your people 'get to the point'
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Not only useful for writing, this book helps your people communicate better, particularly for: 1) people from other disciplines who need to communicate effectively like finance people 2) people writing in English as a foreign language 3) experienced communicators looking to polish their skills The author covers strategic writing such as 'audience hot buttons' as well as practical such as weak verbs to avoid like 'go', 'say' and 'do'. You may like her approach to writing creation using 'organic outlining' in part 3 to organize information effectively, where you express ideas as sentences on post-it notes. This book is my first recommendation for people to communicate better. Because it is the most practical that I've seen comparing to others like "Elements of Style", etc. I wish I had had this book in grade school !
