Read Section 1 Intro<\/a> and
\nSection 1.1: Why is it important to communicate well?<\/a>, in Saylor Academy (Ed.) 2012. Business Communication for Success<\/i>. (See page(s) 4 – 10 in PDF<\/a> version.)\n<\/p>\n

These readings describe communication as an activity, skill, and art incorporating a wide range of human learning and knowledge. Think back, for example, about how you learned to talk, to tell stories, to write, to send text messages, to post in online media, and how to present yourself in a job interview. Think of all the skills each of those things involves!\n<\/p>\n

Communication is key to success in personal relationships, in the workplace, and as a citizen. It influences how we think about ourselves and others, and how we learn. In business contexts, our communication represents both us as an individual and our employer, and communication skills are a consistent priority in employment opportunities.\n<\/p>\n
