Do you give presentations at meetings? Do you ever have to explain a complicated subject to audiences unfamiliar with your field? Do you make pitches for ideas or products? Do you want to interest a lecture hall of restless students in subjects that you find fascinating? Then you need this book. Make It Clear explains how to communicate—how to speak and write to get your ideas across. Written by an MIT professor who taught his students these techniques for more than forty years, the book starts with the basics—finding your voice, organizing your ideas, making sure what you say is remembered, and receiving critiques (“do not ask for brutal honesty”)—and goes on to cover such specifics as preparing slides, writing and rewriting, and even choosing a type family. The book explains why you should start with an empowerment promise and conclude by noting you delivered on that promise. It describes how a well-crafted, explicitly identified slogan, symbol, salient idea, surprise, and story combine to make you and your work memorable. The book lays out the VSN-C (Vision, Steps, News–Contributions) framework as an organizing structure and then describes how to create organize your ideas with a “broken–glass” outline, how to write to be understood, how to inspire, how to defeat writer's block—and much more. Learning how to speak and write well will empower you and make you smarter. Effective communication can be life-changing—making use of just one principle in this book can get you the job, make the sale, convince your boss, inspire a student, or even start a revolution.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994.

Download or read book Lean Communication written by Jack Malcolm and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is lean communication and why do you need it? Lean communication is a mindset and a set of principles and practices to apply lean thinking to become a better thinker and communicator. In the manufacturing world, lean thinking has produced exceptional improvements in productivity and customer value. Manufacturing is a process that takes in raw materials, applies work to them, and produces something a customer values. Lean thinking, with its single-minded focus on creating more value with less waste, carries many lessons that also apply directly to communication, which is a process that takes in information, applies thinking to them, and produces a message a listener values. This book distills those lessons into ten powerful keys to maximize the value others get from hearing or reading your ideas. As a knowledge worker, you need lean communication more than ever today. That's because your contribution depends on your ability to communicate ideas and insights that others can use to improve personal or business outcomes. That task is becoming ever more challenging as the ever-expanding volume of information makes it more difficult to separate useful signals from the noise. Precisely because talk is so cheap, fast, and ubiquitous, useful and meaningful communication is at the same time harder than it's ever been. The very ease of generating and transmitting it means that useless information is churned out much faster than ever, and it becomes tougher for your listeners to get exactly what they need to make good decisions or take the right action. They often feel like the Ancient Mariner: "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink." Your listeners will naturally gravitate to those who provide useful information briefly and clearly, so your path to increased influence and sustained attention depends on giving them more value with less waste-to talk less and say more.
