Nannette Carroll’s The Communication Problem Solver is content- rich with how-tos and step-by-step processes that you can apply imme- diately. It is bursting with stories of real managers wrestling with actual situations.’’ —Dr. Tony Alessandra, author, Communicating at Work and The NEW Art of Managing People ‘‘Examine any career setback and it’s likely to stem from problems in interpersonal communication.

  9. Foreword As a professional speaker, author, professor, and motion picture actor I like to think of myself as a good communicator. Yet, there are always times when I just don’t know how to express what I want or what I say is not perceived the way I had intended. Communication seems so simple—so why is it so hard? It is the most important skill for success in business as well as in life. Studies show that people in organizations typically spend over 75 percent of their time in interpersonal situations. That is why Nannette Rundle Carroll’s book, The Communication Problem Solver: Simple Tools and Techniques for Busy Managers, is so valuable. It is a practical, hands-on, no-nonsense approach to how to get your message across clearly and concisely. What I believe separates this book from others on the topic are the practical tools like the step- by-step how-to’s and the real-world management examples. They cut through the theories to enable you to analyze your communication skills and challenges. Most important, The Communication Problem Solver shows how to develop clarity that builds trust, relationships, and communication with others. I wish I could have had this resource on my bookshelf when I was the dean of a university business school. Dealing with students, fac- ulty, staff, and administration challenged all of my communication skills and then some. This book would have made my life so much easier. I trust it will help you in all of your communications, regardless of the situation. —ix
