Do others expect you to make sense of what they say even when they are not precise? Misunderstanding through poor communication has gone rampant in the workplace, yet most workers just shrug their shoulders and accept misunderstanding as a fact of life.In Why Didn't You Say that in the First Place?, Richard Heyman demonstrates how we can always reach full mutual understanding with others by using the power of plain talk in a systematic way. Heyman shares anecdotes and illustrations, sample conversations and checklists to show readers how misunderstandings can be prevented in everyday settings.While faxes, e-mail, and voice mail may make it easier to disseminate information in today's business world, Heyman makes a strong case that there is no substitute for clear communication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Heyman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849062518845,"sku":"9780787903442","price":37.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780787903442_b1c9f927-151c-4ad9-9e01-1ac21410388a.jpg?v=1766992314","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/why-didnt-you-say-that-in-the-first-place","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
