Description
It's All of Our Business: Communicating Competently in the Workplace is a winner of the Textbook & Academic Authors Association's Most Promising New Textbook Award.
This concise, conversational text balances practical skills with scholarly insight. Grounded in a communication competence perspective, it provides students with the communication skills needed to have successful careers in the 21st century.
With its strong focus on power dynamics, important topics such as sexual harassment, gender bias, bullying, and abuse at work are thoroughly analysed for their causes and prevention. The text's unique coverage addresses several topics often ignored or only briefly covered in competing texts, including leadership, power, conflict management, teamwork, and group dynamics.
Engaging case studies, novel illustrations, personal narratives, vivid stories, and abundant humour create an engaging resource that students will actually want to read. Abundant research is cited in a free-flowing writing style.
