Review :
This beautifully written book will be invaluable to any technology specialist wishing to develop the soft skills that are so important to make a difference in the modern workplace. Easy to read with warmth and wisdom, and illustrated with practical examples, I highly recommend it. Mastering Communication and Collaboration is a refreshingly bold and captivating read. I found the exploration of storytelling's influence on teamwork and simplifying intricate workplace matters particularly intriguing. This book truly spotlights the undervalued skill of using narratives to forge connections, making it a standout aspect of its content. An enjoyable read, which articulates the points of communication and collaboration really well with good everyday working examples. I would recommend this book for all levels of experience and this topic is very key in this new age of hybrid working. Mastering Communication and Collaboration is a thought-provoking publication that applies insight to those wishing to review and improve their communication skills to collaborate effectively. Whilst the content is relevant to all modes of working, the ideas are particularly timely given the rise in home working and the need to use tools to communicate remotely. This book is the ultimate guide for IT professionals seeking to excel in teamwork and leadership. With insightful chapters on communication, data presentation, emotional intelligence, and more, this book is a game-changer for those aiming to thrive in the tech world. Its comprehensive approach equips readers with the essential skills needed to navigate the complex and dynamic IT landscape with finesse. It’s great to see another practical resource covering the soft skills needed to be successful in Information Technology. This isn’t a textbook, it’s peppered with anecdotes and advice borne from real world experience. The book covers a range of practical tools, tips & techniques across a number of key areas such as; knowing your audience, story telling & how to collaborate allowing you to build trust with the teams around you & become an effective part of the wider team. IT permeates every facet of modern life. Yet often, even with the best intentions, the rationale for technical decisions is not always explained in a way that is of a value to users. This book is a practical ‘how to’ guide for every technologist where they can learn to understand their audience and apply certain methodologies to constructively develop these key skills. It brings together a range of real world examples, research and tools for effective communication. Highly recommended.
