Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Improve communication skills and watch productivity soar! In today's fast-paced, sound byte world, effective communication is still the foundation of organization success. Clear communication helps to develop interpersonal understanding and enhances a person's ability to understand and solve complicated problems. Work teams, in particular, rely on their members to communicate effectively. Despite this obvious need, communication inside and outside of organizations is frequently ineffective. Two difficulties are often the culprits: sharing information and finding common ground. The Communication Skills Profile was designed to help people who want to gain a thorough knowledge of the processes of communication and to improve their effectiveness as communicators. It focuses on two main areas essential for effective communication: - Expressing one's opinions effectively - Listening to and understanding others After completing the 48-item self assessment and scoring the responses, participants are instructed to draw up an individual profile based on the author's six-axis model. Each axis in the model corresponds to one of the six essential aspects of effective communication. Participants will learn how to: - Slow down their thought process - Make themselves understood - Test their conclusions - Listen constructively - Get to the bottom of things without interrogating - Explore disagreement Everything you need to conduct a successful 2- to 3-hour communications training module is inside this single workbook.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The idea that there once existed a language which perfectly and unambiguously expressed the essence of all possible things and concepts has occupied the minds of philosophers, theologians, mystics and others for at least two millennia. This is an investigation into the history of that idea and of its profound influence on European thought, culture and history. From the early Dark Ages to the Renaissance it was widely believed that the language spoken in the Garden of Eden was just such a language, and that all current languages were its decadent descendants from the catastrophe of the Fall and at Babel. The recovery of that language would, for theologians, express the nature of divinity, for cabbalists allow access to hidden knowledge and power, and for philosophers reveal the nature of truth. Versions of these ideas remained current in the Enlightenment, and have recently received fresh impetus in attempts to create a natural language for artificial intelligence. The story that Umberto Eco tells ranges widely from the writings of Augustine, Dante, Descartes and Rousseau, arcane treatises on cabbalism and magic, to the history of the study of language and its origins. He demonstrates the initimate relation between language and identity and describes, for example, how and why the Irish, English, Germans and Swedes - one of whom presented God talking in Swedish to Adam, who replied in Danish, while the serpent tempted Eve in French - have variously claimed their language as closest to the original. He also shows how the late eighteenth-century discovery of a proto-language (Indo-European) for the Aryan peoples was perverted to support notions of racial superiority. To this subtle exposition of a history of extraordinary complexity, Umberto Eco links the associated history of the manner in which the sounds of language and concepts have been written and symbolized. Lucidly and wittily written, the book is, in sum, a tour de force of scholarly detection and cultural interpretation, providing a series of original perspectives on two thousand years of European History. The paperback edition of this book is not available through Blackwell outside of North America.…
