Samenvatting:

Daily, we all face opportunities to convey difficult messages to peers, bosses and employees from news about sales shortfalls to discussions of sexual harassment. This work provides advice on the principles, strategies and skills for becoming an effective and courageous messenger at work.

The book to read before you open your mouth. This survival manual relates the finer points of communicating bad news, voicing strong opinions and discussing difficult issues at the office without compromising your position...or your job. Filled with tips, illuminating stories, and a practical "tool box" of exercises, The Courageous Messenger gives you the means to assess the benefits, risks and motivations of communicating difficult messages. It helps you become a skilled messenger. And it teaches you how to speak with courage, clarity and -- most importantly -- diplomacy, whether you're addressing peers, bosses or employees.
