Worse, writers who are criticized in this way are often baffled at how to adapt to their new world. Very often, they try to change aspects of their writing that are not troublesome, and they leave in place aspects of their writing that are making their writing less clear, less logical, and less valuable to their readers.

We'll focus on patterns that are often difficult for academics to see, but are actually fairly easy to change.Featured Ted TalksLEADERSHIP LAB: The Craft of Writing Effectively
