A Human Resources Manager Memoir by Ms Sara Elbaroudi begins by identifying the prime position of communication in the successful conduct of a business. For emphasis she also narrates a few real-life examples of failures caused by ineffective communication. With her experience of the business world beginning with the HR department, she rightfully identifies the key to effective communication in listening, and suggests different approaches to augment efficacy like active listening. Candor, use of ‘I’ and ‘You’ appropriately, tone, simplicity and consistency are some of the other areas of significance Sara has covered. In conclusion she also presents rather convincing and forceful arguments with the help of statistical data.

A Human Resources Manager Memoir by Ms Sara Elbaroudi is written to break down all barriers to the effective use of language. Towards the end of the book, I read, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place,” a quotation from Shaw. Sara, I think, has succeeded in offering techniques to remove the illusory aspects extant in every form of communication. This in itself is capable of making communication more effective, even if additional efforts are not taken. Replete with examples, and with a bunch of useful tips for different styles of correspondence, this is a reliable companion for effective interaction. A good number of web links to a host of resources make it a good reference too. One observation though; I badly missed an index, which would have made this book an easy one to consult.
