Your success in business depends on your ability to communicate.
The number-one skill
that's indispensable to leadership is communication. To become a leader
in your profession or industry, you must speak and write like a leader.
A survey of 120 major American corporations employing nearly eight million people concludes that, in today's workplace, writing is a "threshold skill" for hiring and promotion among salaried employees.
Effective writing is a ticket to professional opportunity. Poor writing is a ticket to oblivion. In today's competitive business climate, effective writing is your ticket in—or your ticket out.
If you cannot write and communicate clearly, you will not be hired. And you will not last long enough in a position to be considered for promotion. Half of all companies take writing ability into account when making promotion decisions. You can't move up without writing skills.
