Overview
The value of communication cannot be overestimated in its importance in any successful career. Few professions exist in which effective speaking and listening are not highly prized. Power belongs to those who know how to communicate, and poor communication skills are a serious handicap to anyone. Those who communicate the best, no matter what their profession, succeed the most.
