People Skills for Policy Analysts

Rating:
Summary: Great advice for advancing your career
Review: In today's policy environment, a large part of the analyst's job is selling their ideas and analysis. Too often I've seen bad ideas and analysis win over good ideas just because the bad ideas had better marketing. This book helps you learn to present yourself and your ideas in a more persuasive fashion especially to decisionmakers who don't have the time and/or attention span to really understand an issue.
