The Leader'S Edge: How To Use Communication To Grow Your Business And Yourself

Sandy Linver, the well-known consultant and president of Speakeasy Inc., has written a new book for business professionals. Based on her twenty years of experience helping clients with communication skills, The Leader's Edge takes the next step by showing how her clients have used these skills to help them reach leadership positions - and what it took to develop them. In this book you'll meet chairmen and presidents of companies and heads of divisions: people in different companies and different industries, but with one thing in common. They're all committed to becoming the best communicators they can be, not only because their leadership responsibilities demand it, but also because they want it for themselves. At some point in each of their careers, as they responded to the demands of a new position or prepared for an upcoming meeting or presentation, they discovered something very important: that effective communication doesn't come from a rule book or a toolbox, but from getting more in touch with who you are and what you want. They discovered that working on their communication skills was helping them grow in their careers - and as human beings. The Leader's Edge isn't a "how to" book. It's a "where to" book, about where communication development can take you, professionally and personally. It's for those who know that the really important things in life come through a long-term commitment, and that the rewards are as much in the journey as in the destination. In The Leader's Edge, Sandy Linver tells you about those rewards - and gives you a road map for the journey.
