Writing in a business environment truly is a survival skill. Unfortunately, it also is a skill many fail to develop because of fear of failure. As managers, or as writers to or for managers, you should take the time to nourish the communication skills of others. Not only can you increase their self-confidence and productivity, but you also will strengthen communication in the workplace and between the workplace and the outside world.
Writing for Managers is a survival skills guide for a reader who can already write and now needs to fine-tune his or her approach to writing to, for, or as a manager. This text focuses on three major barriers that impact managerial writing: failure to understand the problem, failure to communicate effectively with the reader, and failure to assess the impact of the communication before the arrow is sent on its path.

Author of a history book and contributing editor to another history two novels and three non-fiction volumes on Y2K computer issues and one on marketing guidance, he has published over 100 articles and short stories for nationally published magazines (including short stories for children, teens, and adults, plus antique automobile restoration articles and a number of educational technique guides).
