The influence that workplace supervisors have on their workers is widely-recognized.  In assessing organizational communication traits, Laws of Communication presents the governing rules of the complex relationship between a leader, employee, and organizational performance.  With a stoplight as his model, Dr. Schuttler clearly outlines how the colors red, yellow, and green explain types of leadership and employee performance quality zones.  Contributions by twenty-one supplemental authors from a broad range of countries, industries, and businesses make Laws of Communication an easy, unique, and beneficial guide for front-line workers, mid-level supervisors, and senior leaders alike.
