I would like to attend the session of “Using storytelling in leadership communication”
I believe communication is the key to a great team and workplace. People love to hear stories and get motivated just by hearing them. I would love to learn how to do that I want to speak to people's hearts and manage my team well.
If I would get a chance conference concern with job, I always attend and I try to make positive suggestion. In my previous office, they always ask me to attend tax conference.
I would like to go to Management styles because I believe that by knowing different management styles you can actually come up with the best solutions and solve more problems.
Could you please let me know why "4" is True?
In the text, it doesn't say anything about defference betrween small businesses and "big" ones. If it was a "alse, True, Not Given" question what the answer was?
Hello AliYamini,
If you say 'How is leading small businesses different?', this question is already stating that small businesses are different. If you don't think there is a difference, you would say something like 'Is leading small businesses different?', though even that question could suggest that you think there is a difference.
I suppose you could argue that 'Not given' would be a more accurate answer than 'True', but between 'True' and 'False', 'True' is definitely the best answer for the reason I mention.
Does that make sense?
All the best,

I find them interesting the views of other users about these subjects. The conference I would attend is that of the "storytelling in leadership communication", just because I find it interesting this approach of organizational communication and communication in general
