Publisher's summary

For the majority of our lives, we are communicating - through our words, our tone, our actions, and our body language. Believe it or not, it’s impossible not to communicate. Communication plays an integral role in our relationships and successes. It is the cause of every success, every failure, and every frustration we experience.

When was the last time you stopped to think about how you are communicating?

Our society has fallen into a rut of low standards for interpersonal communication, both in the workplace and at home. These damaging communication habits, what author Skip Weisman calls “the Seven Deadliest Communication Sins”, have become commonplace in our homes and our workplaces, and they’re destroying our trust and connection with others.

In order to improve our relationships, our team cultures, our leadership skills, and our results, we need to identify and commit to overcome our communication sins.

In this book, you will learn about the signs and symptoms of each of these communication sins, including:

• A lack of specificity
• A lack of mimediacy, urgency, and promptness
• A lack of directness and candor
• A lack of respectful rebuttals
• A lack of desirable behaviors
• A lack of appropriate tone and body language
• A lack of focused attention

Through personal stories drawn from 16 years as a CEO of five different professional baseball teams, almost two decades of communication coaching experience, and thorough research, Skip Weisman provides insights, ideas, tips, tools, and specific communication techniques for each of these seven deadliest communication sins.

This book will give you the edge you need to put the odds back in your favor and build relationships that can accelerate results in your life, business, and career. It’s time to raise your standard of communication.

“Communication is the key to human relationships, but many of us stumble and thereby sacrifice trust, efficiency, and resources. The good news is that communication is a skill you can improve. With the guidance of Skip Weisman, you can correct the seven deadly sins of miscommunication and raise the quality of your interactions with others. You have the opportunity in every interaction to change a relationship for the better or for the worse - why not be the best communicator you can be?” (Daniel Pink, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Drive and When)
