"A simple, straightforward handbook for saying and doing the right things at work." —Booklist
"Glickman shows a rich understanding of how basic communications can make or break business relationships and careers." —Joseph Thomas, Dean of the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University
Do you always get the assignments you want? Do you know how to ask for help without sounding dumb? How to answer a question you don't know the answer to? All the while sounding smart, capable, and competent? If the answer is no, you're not alone. Jodi Glickman founded the communication consulting firm Great on the Job to help rising stars of the business world with the same issues. Now, for the first time, the training program that Jodi uses with her top-tier clients is available in book form.
Great on the Job teaches people how to talk to one another at work, every day, in every situation, when you're on top of your game and when you have no idea what's going on. In these pages, you'll get all the building blocks you need to develop more dynamic and honed communication skills:
  • Dozens of helpful case studies, all based on workplace scenarios
  • Easy-to-implement strategies that are tactical and practical
  • Sample language and phrases that you can adapt and use right away

  • Business is, and always will be, "a personal thing." In today's global economy, it's not always the smartest, hardest working, or most technically savvy who succeeds. Instead, it's the people with dynamic communication skills—the ones who communicate effectively, strategically, and persuasively—no matter the situation. Great on the Job will teach you to do just that.

        This is a primer for junior execs and those just entering or re-entering the workforce and a refresher for career-switchers and people whove encountered barriers on the job. Its about people skills, and its amazing that no ones identified and solved its issues before. Communications consultant Glickman, a former Peace Corps volunteer and Wall Street banker, tells and shows how to manage common workplace situations, from greeting and prioritizing to asking for help and managing a crisis, in easy-to-master ways. Most important is the foundation Glickman suggests, of four emotions that underscore winning communications; namely, generosity, initiative, forward momentum, and transparency. Each chapter tackles a positive or negative event, outlines variations of it, introduces action steps (usually three) for meeting it, and details responses for success. Troubleshooting, discussed in the form of questions and answers, ends each section. A simple, straightforward handbook for saying and doing the right things at work.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
