Practical Tips for Effective Workplace Communication
What to Say and How to Say It provides managers with reallife situations, sample dialogues and practical tips on how to say the right thing to employees at just the right time.

• Say just the right thing at the right time in the right way
• Avoid embarrassment and awkwardness
• Build good relationships and defuse conflict
• Work with difficult, emotional, or even hostile employees
• Guide a conversation to a productive outcome for everyone involved
