The main objective of Bringing Out the Best in Your Employees is to help managers think differently and communicate in ways that engage and empower employees. Enlightening, thought provoking, and extremely motivating, this comprehensive guide will enhance your ability to empower employees within your organization, which will increase performance and productivity. Communication goes above and beyond speaking and listening, reading and writing, or verbal and non-verbal because when our minds are constantly interpreting the world around us, everything becomes a communication. For example, someone cutting you off in traffic communicates something, and it's a communication when a cashier in a supermarket smiles at you. When your significant other doesn't call when he or she is supposed to, you might think, "What are they trying to tell me?" If you skip an important meeting, it may be interpreted a particular way. If your employee is consistently late, is he or she telling you something? Every time you perceive the world, it is communication. "Communication is everything, and everything is communication," says Lisa Giruzzi, "and for human beings, nothing in this world exists without it." A "go to" book for dealing with challenges at work, the author's mission is to encourage a positive, sustainable change in the workplace, and unlike traditional "recipe approach" communication books, this one actually makes an immense difference as soon as you adopt the principles and implement the strategies.
