Reviews

To move to the next rung on the ladder in the arena of communication, you need to read and experience Communication Highwire. - Maggie Fischer, Texas Instruments Inc.Grounded in theory, and richly elaborated through experience, this book provides a much-needed overview for business professionals, educators, trainers and anyone else who is currently curious! - Janet Bennett, Intercultural Communication InstituteAn ultimate approach for discussing global diversity, using communication styles as the numerator for human capital. - Curtis Mathews Jr., CIGNAI am so glad to finally find a book that goes beyond the well-meaning, often used phrase of valuing diversity, and offers simple explanations and practical ideas on improving communication to leverage diversity a much more valuable concept in effectively working together.
