You write letters, facilitate meetings, create reports, send e-mails, devise presentations, debate with your colleagues… the list goes on. It is evident that we run our entire administration by communicating. It is therefore important to provide a huge boost to our productivity by making sure that we communicate in the clearest, most effective way possible.
