Manhattan Review Smart Business Talk

Smart Business Talk is one of the books in Manhattan Review's Turbocharge Your Career series. These insightful career instruction guides are designed for young professionals at all levels to improve their communication skills and functional knowledge within a short time period. They prove to be particularly helpful for students who have also taken corresponding Management Training courses with us. Being able to speak the everyday slang and idioms used in a typical business setting can make a vast difference when you communicate with your English-speaking colleagues or friends. If someone tells you that you might be "called on the carpet" by the department head, do you know what is coming? How about telling a team member that any extra work on the same project will yield marginal value? Try to use the phrase "gild the lily." Then the person will know where you stand on all those last-minute frenetic formatting changes on a pitch book.
