Getting Through - Edward Paulson

Résumé :
Have you ever wondered why you are misunderstood? Would it shock you to know that it could be HOW you delivered the message? Did you know that the media you use to deliver a message affects the way it is interpreted by others? That's right! Texting, email, video conference, telephone, and in-person meetings are not interchangeable, but nobody explains that to us, so we are forced to learn the best way to use them by trial and error. Until now! Ed Paulson, author of the best selling The Complete Idiot's Guide To Starting Your Own Business, explains how the power of media richness theory can be easily and practically applied to ensure that you are better understood. These concepts have been around academic circles since the 1980s but they have never been clearly explained so that business managers can apply them to improve communication within their groups or organization. In Getting Through, Dr. Paulson explains his approach to selecting the right media to use for message delivery which unleashes the power of media richness theory and enhances understanding. The short time you spend reading this book will change the way you communicate forever. In this book you will learn: 1. A method for ensuring you are completely understood as you wanted. 2.
