Why you should read The Clarity Factor
Meet Gloria, harried boss, wife and mother. She’s an intelligent, competent and well-intentioned person, so she can’t figure out why Marty, her terminally put-upon employee resents her, why her husband Bill ignores her, or why conversations with her teenage son Todd always turn into shouting matches. Through a series of enlightening interactions, Gloria shows readers how seemingly hopeless relationships can be resurrected when communications improve. Author Ray DiZazzo uses hypothetical examples to illustrate his tips for clear communications. His narrative won’t win any literary awards, but it is surprisingly effective at teaching readers how to communicate better. getAbstract recommends his book to all managers, because your job hinges in large part on communicating effectively. Now is that perfectly clear?
