Product Description Managers desiring effective communication should look no further than Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness. Rather than simply offering a skill-building approach to communication, this original volume analyzes the challenges facing managers and suggests creative action plans to resolve critical corporate dilemmas. Based on research gathered from within organizations, actual case studies bring organizational problems to light and present new issues, such as interdepartmental communication and communication ethics. Clampitt's expertise and insight provide a sound understanding of communication problems as well as the practical means to resolve them. Chapters discuss the communication process and then explore the relationship of communication to everyday managerial concerns, such as how to communicate change, give useful feedback, manage new information technologies, communicate across departmental boundaries, create an innovative spirit, and cope with ethical issues. This volume is an invaluable resource for managers, training personnel, and students of business communication, management, and organization studies. | ||

Communicating for managerial effectiveness This book examines theories and techniques employed by communication professionals in large organisations. It provides an opportunity to assess these theories and techniques by applying them to an analysis of communication practices within specific organisations and examining an organisations external communication. Ideal read or textbook if interested in or studying concepts that exist within small or large organisations or seeking to improve communication within their own organisation. | ||
Communicating This book is also very appropriate for my communication management class. We use it extensively. | ||
More than just Skills! I am a Director of Training and communication is a pervasive concern. Unlike other books that focus on skill-building, this one addresses more fundamental communication issues. What I found particularly valuable was that the strategic discussions were directly linked to specific action plans that I could implement. For instance, the book discusses the principles behind effectivly communicating change along with providing some concrete suggestions. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone charged with addressing communication problems in their organization. | ||
Informational, entertaining, and extremely useful. Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness is a book aimed at executives and managers. However, employees at all levels will benefit from Clampitt's suggestions and recommendations. The book is comprised of 11 chapters and covers communication breakdowns and challenges that I can certainly relate to, such as using the correct communication channels, communicating change, giving performance feedback, and communicating the corporate culture. In each chapter, Clampitt analyzes common problems that occur in organizations, defines why these problems occur and offers concrete recommendations and suggestions. Clampitt is skilled at using great metaphors, case studies, examples, statistical evidence, and experience to form his recommendations. Every day I apply the knowledge I've gained from this book to my career at Rockwell Automation; I highly recommend this book to you so you can benefit from it in your career as well. | ||
