Autor Suzanne Mccorkle, Stephanie Witt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mai 2014
This book fills the need for a communication-based, public sector framed book. The authors combine just enough basic theory about communication with specific skill development in areas of immediate interest to those who work in the public sector. It also features a strong "practice" orientation, with plentiful boxed applications (Insights from the Field, Skill Development boxes, Case Studies). It concludes with an especially useful summary chapter that describes the ten essential skills for successful communication.

About the Authors

Recenzii

"This unique little book provides the rich, textured discussion of pragmatic topics that our generalist public management texts often lack. It provides discussions into and exercises for topics such as conflict management, question-asking, emotional intelligence and labor, meeting management, parliamentary procedure, bullying, cultural knowledge and diversity, seeking public input, and a host of others that students will be highly interested in. If one wants to ensure that students have solid skills in management and leadership, this is a wonderful complement to any PA classroom or seminar." -- Montgomery Van Wart, California State University, San Bernardino
