Ever get the feeling that your coworkers don′t understand you?
Misunderstanding through poor communication is rampant in the workplace, yet most workers just shrug their shoulders and accept misunderstanding as a fact of life.

You′ll discover:
Why nobody understands you
Why misunderstanding is normal
The power of strategic talk
Communicating when understanding is critical
It is full of anecdotes, illustrations, sample conversations, and checklists to show readers how misunderstandings can be prevented in everyday settings.
