Why you should read Beyond Spin

In a world overloaded with spin, the only way to cut through the bull is with the truth.

The authors maintain that only by revealing the truth within your organization can you hope to guide the flow of information about and around your company in the digital era. Although many executives might find these concepts unworkable, getAbstract.com highly recommends this example-filled look for its fresh perspective on corporate communications.
