Description

For leaders, communication is a vital tool that can lead the team to either success or failure. The goal of a request for information is always twofold: to get what you need and to build relationships. By understanding how requests work and responding in a way that's helpful and friendly, not just tactical, you'll be able to enjoy communication more and get what you need from others in no time.

Listen and enjoy!
