Endorsements:

"The world needs better writers. We all spend much of our time in informal exchanges where punctuation is optional, spelling has become phonetic, phrases are reduced to four letters (all CAPS), and emojis tell the story. In some linguistic sense, it is fascinating. But formal writing hasn't gone away. Power in Precision should be compulsory reading for college students and young professionals who want career success and lasting impact in any field." Jennifer Banner, Corporate Board Director, and Industry Research Fellow MIT Center for Information Systems Research.

"Overall Power in Precision is very well done. Aligning what you think with what you say and what you write so that others understand you precisely and exactly is an art and a science that few learn and even fewer teach. This book guides the way." Nicholas Donofrio, former IBM Executive Vice President, Innovation and Technology, and Author, If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes.

"Mark Watson's Power in Precision offers business economists and new writers a primer and a style guide on how to write more clearly and directly. We all need this as we draft memos for our CEOs, or prepare policymakers for testimony, or present to large general audiences. Watson's call for better writing is on target. Much we read today can be imprecise, turgid, and riddled with jargon or clichés. If you want to reach your audience by improving your writing skills, this book is for you." Stuart Mackintosh, former Group of Thirty Executive Director, and Author, Climate Crisis Economics and The Redesign of the Global Financial Architecture.
