SECTION 1: Thinking about communication

To be an effective writer you need to understand how communication works and what prevents it from working. Understanding the theory will give you the tools to:

  • analyse workplace communication situations and choose the best approach for each writing task;
  • predict and prepare for barriers that could prevent you from getting your readers to do what you want.
