Vocabulary of A Manager


Book Description

'Speech has power. Words do not fade. What starts out as a sound, ends in a deed.' -Abraham Joshua Herschel Think of the power your words hold. Any sentence could have a lasting impact on the lives of those around you. This dynamic nature of language and communication may seem intimidating at first, but you learn through experience and advice that there is a need to build a core understanding of people around you if you wish to be heard.

Vocabulary of a Manager aims to suggest and advise ways of communication that can enhance the workplace experience and help managers build a respectful and cooperative office environment.
