Finally, a book that non-HR professionals want to read.
Miscommunication, wasted time, and messy "he-said, she-said" situations cost small businesses and teams thousands of dollars every year. Whether it's a goal that was never tracked, a meeting that led nowhere, or a hiring decision that turned into a nightmare-most problems share the same root cause: They weren't documented in writing.
In this practical, no-fluff guide, Meira Spivak shows employees, managers and leaders how to do the WRITE thing, without talking HR jargon and legalese. She will motivate you to take documentation seriously, with 50+ relatable, real stories that make for a lively, engaging read.
