Summary

Persuasive communication is important within a business. Students learn how to adapt their communication style to a boss, peer, or subordinate.

Persuasive communication differs from other types. It involves logic, fairness, and judgment. It is based on mutual agreement.

Communication with a boss

A boss needs a problem and suggested solutions. This avoids putting the boss in a dilemma. A boss cannot be left with just a problem.

Communication with a peer

Communication with a peer should be interactive. It should involve lateral communication. This generates different points of view.

Communication with a subordinate must be careful. It must not seem unilateral. It must invite suggestions from the subordinate.
