In her new book, THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY: 10 Communication Strategies Every Leader Needs to Know (McGraw-Hill/June 2007), Dianna tackles the issues of when to communicate, how to do it, and what to say to coworkers, employees, managers, and the public. She argues that businesses delude themselves by thinking that the dissemination of information – whether on the Internet, through teleconferences, or in meetings – is the same as substantive communication. Booher emphasizes, “Information is not communication.”
Based on her own work with, and observations of, hundreds of businesses, Dianna Booher analyzes what is effective – stressing that honesty, clarity, consistency, and transparency are the keys to effective communication.
