Part 2 of 2 about clear communication for leaders.

Erin’s Recommended Resources, in her own words

Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

I think learning comes from all sorts of places. This book is about writing, not business communication. But there are a lot of great points about clear communication, about striving and even about not taking something too seriously. And, a great suggestion to read. If we want to communicate well, we have to read other people’s communication! Some of the better quotes:

• “The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
• “Words have weight.”

Hidden Brain, podcast hosted by Shankar Vedantam. Explores human behavior and has a lot to teach us about how we interact.

Excellence in Business Communication, John V. Thill & Courtland L. Bovee. https://www.pearson.com/store/p/excellence-in-business-communication/P200000009814/9780137869664

I’ve had mine so long they’ve done eight more editions!

The American Management Association

Lots of communication classes and certificate programs – and it’s the AMA so companies might pay. https://www.amanet.org/training-topics/communication-skills/

I made a few statements about women’s representation in the workforce and the outcomes achieved by female leaders. Here are sample articles about this information and research.

Gender Equality, dealt a blow by COVID-19, still has much ground to cover (Deloitte, Jan 21 2022) https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/economy/impact-of-covid-on-women.html

Women More Effective Than Men in All Leadership Measures (Forbes, Mar 31 2023) https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinkruse/2023/03/31/new-research-women-more-effective-than-men-in-all-leadership-measures/?sh=3f0f3d46577a

And this one, published the day I'm preparing to publish this episode! Return to the office mandate are a disaster for working mothers (The Wall Street Journal, Dec 15 2023) https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/return-to-the-office-mandates-are-a-disaster-for-working-mothers-bf57a071?mod=hp_featst_pos3
