Clampitt's book is an invaluable resource for any Leader, Manager, Employee or Student. I've used the concepts in various settings from large organizations to classrooms with great success.

Strategic Communication at it's best

Clampitt's book is a rare blend of theory, research and real world examples, creating one of the best tools any manager, employee, or student can find. The real world case studies are applicable to many different situations and contexts and shows the great insight Clampitt into the communication process in organizations. I was particularly impressed with the "Drill down" exercises and have used them to teach freshman communication students critical thinking skills. An excellent read and an even better tool!

This book is also very appropriate for my communication management class. We use it extensively.
More than just Skills!

I am a Director of Training and communication is a pervasive concern. Unlike other books that focus on skill-building, this one addresses more fundamental communication issues. What I found particularly valuable was that the strategic discussions were directly linked to specific action plans that I could implement. For instance, the book discusses the principles behind effectivly communicating change along with providing some concrete suggestions. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone charged with addressing communication problems in their organization.
Informational, entertaining, and extremely useful.

Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness is a book aimed at executives and managers. However, employees at all levels will benefit from Clampitt's suggestions and recommendations.The book is comprised of 11 chapters and covers communication breakdowns and challenges that I can certainly relate to, such as using the correct communication channels, communicating change, giving performance feedback, and communicating the corporate culture. In each chapter, Clampitt analyzes common problems that occur in organizations, defines why these problems occur and offers concrete recommendations and suggestions. Clampitt is skilled at using great metaphors, case studies, examples, statistical evidence, and experience to form his recommendations. Every day I apply the knowledge I've gained from this book to my career at Rockwell Automation; I highly recommend this book to you so you can benefit from it in your career as well.
