Business means information processing. Unfortunately we don't communicate in the standardized way a computer does. Not two person have the same set of words or their meanings in their head. THerefore it's extremely importent to have accurate and detailed communication process and to know how to find the 'hidden', the unspoken of peaces. This book will help you with that.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on business communications - EVER!, December 13, 2007

This review is from: Precision: A New Approach to Communication: How to Get the Information You Need (Hardcover)

I attended one of John Grinder's NLP workshops many years ago in Toronto and thought NLP would have a great application in business. Sure enough, John and Michael came out with this book in 1980 that applies the NLP concept to the business world. This book should be compulsory reading in all business schools. This book teaches - by way of specific examples - managers how to get the best quality information on any situation so that they can make the right decision. Any person reading this book will see why there is so much misunderstanding and miscommunication in the business world.

I highly recommend this book.
