The first theory-driven, narrative-based examination of risky communication interactions in the workplace "The book does a fine job of incorporating research into a narrative framework that should be accessible for students and individuals in the business community. ... The most impressive aspect of the textbook is the use of specific, 'everyday person' narratives to ground the concepts."-Mary Helen Brown, Auburn University "The advice provided in the book goes beyond simple advice on what or what not to say, but also advises individuals on how to manage the entire process. The book will be well-received in the classroom setting and by practitioners who encounter difficult interpersonal workplace challenges every day." -Patricia M. Sias, Washington State University This book focuses on the types of risky interactions that threaten identities, relationships, and sometimes careers, including voicing dissent, repairing broken relationships, managing privacy, responding to harassment, offering criticism, and communicating emotion. Each chapter is grounded in real-life organizational scenarios, includes recent research, applies a standard theoretical framework, and illustrates a full range of communicative tactics and discourse practices. Throughout the book, authors Vincent R. Waldron and Jeffrey W. Kassing provide examples to spur thinking, raise questions, and help readers understand how organizations benefit when employees communicate in ways that manage risk.
