Before starting the discussion read the following Required Supplemental Reading Material (links also posted in Blackboard Lectures.) COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR MANAGER Week 5.a: How to talk so your boss will listen http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/2013/08/19/how-to-talk-so-your-boss-will-listen COMMUNICATING WITH EXECUTIVES Week 5.b: Simple Rules for communicating with executives http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2003/06/30/smallb4.html?page=all When you have read the above articles: Write a summary of what you have learned from the articles; what you agreed (or disagreed with) and so on. ADD this summary at the end of your Week five Assignment and post as one file to Turnitin. Discuss (talk about) the reading material with your fellow students. You can talk about what you learned from the articles; what you liked; what you did not like; what the authors missed in their article; how the articles relate to your experience and so on. When I read your discussions I want to see evidence that you have actually read the material and that you truly understand what you read and how it applied to the real world business environment. Please, if you use other sources other than the textbook (Bussines Communication) you must reference the work.
