He deals with the mechanics of organizing content and writing clearly and correctly, but he doesn’t stop there. He also explains why good communication focuses on its audience, why simple words and sentences are more effective and why great communicators are also great listeners. getAbstract recommends his helpful manual to businesspeople and to anyone who wants to communicate persuasively.
