Convey Your Message Clearly, Credibly, and Competently! Fortune 500 consultant Dianna Booher is one of the world's foremost authorities on public speaking and business communication. She has trained and consulted for some of the top executives in leading companies-and she has heard all the grumbling between departments about “the lack of communication” today. Using 10 clear-cut strategies, she will show you exactly what to say, how to say it, when to say it, and even how to present yourself credibly-all crucial elements in business today. Be Complete. Be Consistent. Be Concerned. These rules-and the seven others Booher outlines in this book-sound simple enough. But these essentials of good communication mark the difference between failure and success for any business, career, or relationship. Even if your communication technology changes-from e-mail and voice mail to teleconferencing and blogging-the rules remain the same. You have to be credible as a communicator. The Voice of Authority is loaded with practical tips to help you

Este libro brinda una gama de consejos que pueden ser aplicados en la vida laboral e incluso en la vida privada. Sus recomendaciones giran en torno a la forma de comunicación que debemos ejercer con nuestros pares, subordinados y superiores. He podido rescatar varias sugerencias que se pueden aplicar de forma inmediata en el día a día. Un punto en contra es la traducción al español de este libro, ya que hay muchas frases que no tienen mucho sentido y que hay que estar tratando de darle vueltas al texto para captar la idea. Supongo que de la edición en inglés se puede aprovechar mejor este contenido. Le pongo tres estrellas porque lo considero un libro bueno, pero no ha logrado dejar huella como otros libros. Una de las cosas que más me gustó fue una de las últimas frases de origen desconocido que el libro citó.
