WRITING TO PLEASE YOUR BOSS shows you how to take control of the "politics" of the writing process. It is designed for non-professional writers whose jobs require them to write reports, proposals, & memoranda. WRITING TO PLEASE YOUR BOSS covers such topics as: Determining what your boss really wants; Completing 90 per cent of the job in the first draft; Using graphics effectively to put sparkle in your report; Working with a committee & achieving positive results; Coping with unreasonable deadlines (and unreasonable bosses!); Handling conflicting directions from management with "Win-win" results. Many managers who are not professional writers equate writing with the fear & trepidation experienced before a trip to the dentist's office. Writing should be fun, not a hassle, & WRITING TO PLEASE YOUR BOSS takes the fear & loathing out of the writing process. Written by renowned corporate writing consultants Elizabeth Cohn & Susan Kleimann. A supplementary diskette with forms & activities keyed to the book is available from the publisher for $14.90.
