Features: This book combines the author's more than 20 years of theoretical and practical research to provide effective theoretical frameworks and practical guidance for all aspects of communication between employees and supervisors. The target audience of this book is everyone who hopes to build good relationships with management, especially human resources professionals, trainers, managers, consultants, ordinary employees, and all those who wish to learn upward communication skills. Every employee will inevitably interact with their supervisor. If employees put in hard work but only receive meager rewards, or are constantly criticized instead of praised, they may ignore their manager's wishes and choose to leave, with no intention of further advancing. If managers provide unfair evaluations, act defensively towards employees, withhold information, set unrealistic expectations, and intimidate employees, they may become discouraged. Similarly, if managers clearly show distrust, lack consideration, and are insensitive to others, employees' motivation will also be dampened. Moreover, as soon as employees hear harsh words, ridicule, or unrealistic demands, they will feel on edge and lose hope for the future. Most employees find this deeply troubling, but in the end, they can only accept it because they genuinely don't know better ways to communicate. The target audience of this book is everyone who hopes to build good relationships with management, especially human resources professionals, trainers, managers, consultants, and others who are. The book explains the skills needed for upward communication in a clear and straightforward manner, allowing employees to take specific steps to overcome the various obstacles they face. The book provides numerous practical guidelines and reasonable suggestions, enabling employees to improve their wording and actions when they encounter communication difficulties, so that they can engage in more harmonious interactions with management.
