Communication is about much more than just being good at talking to people. It is about learning the process of understanding other people, modifying the way you interact in order to be understood, and creating authenticity in your relationships. By mastering authentic communication, you position yourself as a leader both in thought and in influence. The foundation for both management and leadership rests in your ability to connect with the people around you. Because of this, communication is the foundation for virtually everything that you will do in business and in life.
