Good Reference but Keep your common sense.......2003-09-08
While supervisors and low level manages are working better, the Sr. Staff is utilizing the author's tools in a micromanagement-fest. For example, the review process has become a long drawn out process that requires several hours a week for the employee to revise their personal "assignment sheet". At the end of every three months you then have the employee summarize all their previous tasks for time, issues, schedule, etc. The quarterly review takes about 2 weeks with several cycles of review and rewriting with Sr. Staff members. Every detail is gone over and over. It is not uncommon to loose a week of productivity.
Read the book but maintain some common sense about how you apply the information.
A Very Useful Book.......2003-08-21
I wish I had bought this book 2 years ago, when it first came out -- I could have avoided a lot of headaches.
Communications Made Simple.......2002-03-09
There's a tremendous amount of information, and I find myself going back to review the material often, especially when a meeting or conversation goes badly.
There is nothing here you can't find in other books, but it's all collected neatly under one cover, and the author presents the material in interesting ways that make it easier to absorb and put into practice.
Definitely a worthwhile read!

Have a Sensitive, Effective Boss/Mentor at Your Side.......2001-03-22
This easy-read is a priceless blend of head and heart, mindset and skills. The play on "p's" makes for easy Practice! The part our perceptions play in our interactions sets the stage. Perceptions, personality profiles and pausing were keys for me. Lani leads the reader by conversational tone to understand how differences can be pluses when managed with understanding and skill. We are reminded to pause when confronted with less than positive folks.
Another strong point in this age of speed is the crisp format and the relevant tips for being brief. And bold. Lani confronts in a warm style the general fear of facing issues--glossing over, backing down, etc. She gives workable ways to help individuals and teams talk through to real solutions. The lively lessons on giving instructions and feedback are helpful for those who hesitate or barge in inappropriately.
"Communicating Effectively" builds logically from laying a foundation of understanding to getting the courage to be real and right on! When every job ad calls for "excellent communication" and "getting along with people," this book should be next to everybody's laptop--and bedside. It's next to mine and I'm still highlighting!

Communicating Effectively with the Chinese (Communicating Effectively in Multicultural Contexts)
Ge Gao , and Stella Ting-Toomey Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 080397003X |
Book Description
How can North Americans improve their communication with the Chinese? A useful and efficient approach to understand prevalent cultural assumptions underlying everyday Chinese communicative activities, Communicating Effectively with the Chinese identifies and conceptualizes some of the distinctive communication practices in Chinese culture. Utilizing the self-OTHER perspective as a conceptual foundation, authors Ge Gao and Ting-Toomey portray and interpret the dynamics of Chinese communication. They examine how self-conception, role and hierarchy, relational dynamics, and face affect ways of conducting everyday talk in Chinese culture. They explain why miscommunication between Chinese and North Americans take place and suggest ways to improve Chines/North American communication. By incorporating instances of everyday talk, Gao and Ting-Toomey offer a realistic and clear illustration of the specific characteristics and functions of Chinese communication, as well as problematic areas of Chinese-North American encounters. Adding to the sparse literature on communicating with others of different cultural backgrounds, Communicating Effectively with the Chinese is an insightful resource that will be widely used by professionals and academics in communication, intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, Asian studies, and race and ethnic studies.Customer Reviews:
