Every few years I revisit this so that I don’t get stuck in limited ways of communicating. Everyone can benefit by listening to this and taking notes even if you’ve been an entrepreneur for decades.
HBR's Must Reads on Communication was a great read. I'm happy that HBR has decided to publish this collection of articles in a book. They have more books on this collection and each book focuses on a different theme. I wanted to start with 10 Must Reads on Communication since it's an important and relevant area for me - not only have I studied Communication in college, it's one of the themes I'm most fascinated about. This book rounded up some of the most influential articles on communication, i...
Some interesting and useful concepts in this book about communication in business management. However, there is a fair amount of punching down in the book; some of the essays are written from world view that could be best described as overconfident and a few are downright odious.
That is the awesome book. Not just latest articles about communication but some old still good ones. I highly recommend that book to anyone who is interested in how to communicate properly.
This is a collection of relatively long articles. Some of them are good, some are not. I guess it depends on what you already know and do not know, your environment.A couple of articles that I really liked made the whole book worth it.Conveniently, each article has a short summary. I recommend skimming through the summaries. When a summary interests you, read the whole article.
This book is so good that I think every millennial should read it. The sooner you read it, the better.
Leaders tell stories. They know how to communicate and share their vision for where their organization is headed. They use stories to build a culture. Leaders persuade their colleagues (and bosses) to change and ship new projects. The know how to give (and receive) actionable feedback. These essays by HBR are thought provoking and made me question how I communicate.
Doesn’t really bring anything great to the table.
I underlined multiple sections in this book. That's how much I found value in the essays and studies that were presented.Harvard Business Review (HBR) is a series of collected essays, and this particular book centered on the topic of communication. Some communication styles you might understand: analytical vs creative vs leadership. Some people are followers, some leaders, some analysts. But how can you use your communication to persuade people, not maliciously, but to perhaps steer clear from a...
“HBR’s 10 Must Reads on Communication” puts together 11 essential articles from Harvard Business Review on the topic. I found it surprisingly good - the articles are written by heavy-weight practitioners (CEO consultants, PR leaders etc) or specialized academics from top business schools. The book gives you lots of insights on persuasion, effective communication or story telling. And a lot of study cases, as many HBR Press books do.If you want to find out what are the book’s essentials and a few...
Communication is a make or break in the career world but even more so within one’s personal life. It is the tool that makes one feel connected and allows for success.... the root of all mental and emotional turmoil. Thankfully, this book provided me with a greater sense of security with regards to my communication skills. It provides a brief overview of communication dynamics within the office and a skilful approach in managing everyday situations.
The articles confirm your inner biases when you speak with another person in a workplace. They are mostly personal views of experienced workplace veterans, consultans and writers who understand various human behavior to trigger responses through communication. A read for a beginner in learning how to communicate better.
Somewhere between 3.5 and 4 starsI had to read this over the course of my current Managerial Communications class, and I really enjoyed reading something that wasn't a textbook. I mostly enjoyed the articles I read, although some of the ideas didn't seem to translate well into modern times. Anyone who is a manager or hopes to become one can benefit from reading this.
HBR must reads are always great to read. Its beauty lies within the short articles discussing various aspects of a concept. On Communication was better than Managing Self in my opinion. There is one or two articles probably that weren’t up to the expectaton, and this will always be the case.
It's both sad and interesting how the workplace and businesses work in terms of communicating. There are no clear rules and you mostly learn stories shared in this book through personal experience. I wonder how will this affect the current trend and adaptation the workplace is phasing through (2021). The book was very informative and helpful. Surely, I'll recommend this to anyone starting his/her career.
Well. It reads like a really long magazine article. Nothing super great. Almost dull. I probably would have read each of the articles by themselves in a magazine, but all of them together was brutal! I may have even enjoyed each article by itself in a magazine, but all together was a bit much. Good info, poorly distributed, without a clear cohesion because it was from different authors in different time periods, and different professions.
Some good guidance on how to think about communicating rather than just doing, some tips already used in work and went welk
My suggestion is juat read the idea in Brief and Idea in Practice. Some articles are pretty insightful in idea and practice but not worth the price since the delivery is boring which is contradict with the title.
Too many case studies, not much elaborations and deep insights.
read this for grad school, still counting it towards my total lol
