Into the book
Writing does not stand alone.
There are thoughts before writing.
Also, words are attached to writing.
Speech and writing come together to communicate.
Relationships are built through communication, and if the relationship is bad, no matter how well written the writing is, it won't be read.
Relationships are psychological.
Whether it's a superior or a subordinate, you have to read the other person well.
To write well, you need to know your readers well.
In the end, speech, writing, communication, relationships, and psychology are all one.

--- From the "Prologue"

When writing at work, you should hear your boss's voice.
To do that, you need to know your boss.
You need to know his tastes, inclinations, and what he expects.
That's the shortcut to writing well at work.
But I'm trying to compete with my boss.
Don't try to get to know your boss.
Then you can't write well.
I wrote it while listening to the voice of the chairman or president.
That was how I made up for my shortcomings.

--- From "Secrets Found in 25 Years of Writing at Work"

Writing is a key means of communication.
Especially in companies, writing is like work.
Like it or not, everyone has to use email and messenger.
Most of the work is done in writing, including reports, drafts, memoranda, proposals, and presentation materials.
Of course, if you write well, your work efficiency will increase.
Productivity increases throughout the company.
This is an era where the headline is the headline.

--- From "Why I Write"

Mr. Ham Seok-heon once said, “Only the people who think can survive.”
The same holds true for office workers, especially in today's era of rampant AI (artificial intelligence).
In the AI ​​era, overflowing with knowledge and information, the place for humans is in ‘thinking.’
I always worried when I had to write at work.
I regretted it after writing it again.
These worries and regrets are my thoughts and the basis for my writing.
Artificial intelligence cannot think like this.
Therefore, in this day and age, the saying, “You have to be a thinking worker to survive” is still valid.

--- From "Where Will Humans Stand in the AI ​​Era?"

In life, words and writing are essential tools.
Speaking and writing are processes of reading thoughts and writing thoughts.
You have to understand the psychology.
In that respect, speaking and writing require psychology rather than logic or rhetoric.

--- From "What is above investigation and logic in the workplace?"

Don't get lost in the writing.
You have to grab the writing.
If I struggle in front of a text, the text will know it and look down on me.
In that state, writing is not possible.
Time just passes by restlessly.
You need to take a deep breath and deal with the writing.
You should not be buried under the text, but should command from above.

--- From "Let's look at it through the eyes of the boss instead of the eyes of the employee"

Are you good at explaining?
Are you someone who can explain things in a way that is easy to understand?
If not, you are not a good boss.
No matter how outstanding the performance is.
They are just members who are good at their jobs.
He is just a quick-witted worker who understands what his superiors say.

--- From "The Boss is the One Who Informs"

It is also necessary to clearly define the object of criticism and limit it to that.
You started the conversation by bringing up my drinking and then brought up the fact that I forgot our wedding anniversary.
It's not like it's some kind of 'candy in a row' thing.
Of course, from my perspective as the one being criticized, I think it's fortunate that the criticism goes off topic and the argument becomes blurred.

--- From “How can you possibly say such nonsense to me?”

I also have my own note-taking know-how.
The most important thing is to make it a habit.
Taking notes is not a difficult task.
It's not something I do because someone told me to.
It's something I do voluntarily.
It's fun if you do it.
If I think of something to write down before going to bed, I get up, even though it's annoying, and fumble for my phone to write it down.
There is a reason for doing so.
Remembering something reminds me of something, which means my brain did something 'good' and should be praised immediately.
"How did you come up with that? That's a really good idea." You should express your gratitude.
That way, I can throw out more things to take note of.

Publisher's Review
“Writing is work at work!” Leading personal growth to organizational success
President Kang Won-guk's Complete Guide to Writing Papers!


President Kang Won-guk, known for his writing skills, shares his secrets for effective writing, including communication and relationship skills, for successful professionals.
So how does writing for the workplace differ from general writing? Writing is a core means of communication.
Especially in companies, 'writing is like working'.
Like it or not, everyone has to use email and messenger.
Most of the work is done in writing, including reports, drafts, memoranda, proposals, and presentation materials.
Of course, if you write well, your work efficiency will increase.
Productivity increases throughout the company.
This is an era where the headline is the headline.


The author of this book, Kang Won-guk, worked for 17 years in a corporation and 8 years in the Blue House, for a total of 25 years.
I have worked in a variety of roles, from employee to executive, at small companies with around 10 employees, venture companies with 300 employees, mid-sized companies with around 1,000 employees, large corporations with close to 10,000 employees, and global companies with over 100,000 employees.
I wrote "Writing for Office Workers" with the belief that a desirable corporate culture begins with smooth communication, and that speaking and writing serve as the foundation for building trust through communication.
This book not only contains heartfelt advice on the attitude a working person should have, but also contains secret techniques for winning over your boss.
This is a complete practical guide to writing a paper that will lead individual growth to organizational success.

“In a company, it is essential to be able to speak and write in a way that penetrates your boss’s thoughts!”
Starting from psychology and completing through communication
All the secrets to writing for work!


At work, writing is work.
But if you just write a good report, it's of no use.
In a company, it is essential to be able to communicate your boss's thoughts in words and writing.
The author says, “A well-written piece that misses the heart is worse than a poorly written piece.”
Therefore, before writing, the first thing that is needed is a good relationship and smooth communication with your superiors.


But this is not easy.
“I just can’t communicate with employees in their 20s and 30s.” This is the complaint the author hears most often during his lectures.
Conversely, employees complain, “I don’t understand why my boss says one thing at a time and then another.”
South Korea is now experiencing a generational divide.
This is the so-called 'communication gap'.
In a rapidly changing world, office workers struggle to develop skills and competencies, and they also suffer from communication stress.
Those at the manager level and above lived in a culture of 'affection'.
In contrast, young employees pursue rationality.
No matter how good you are at speaking and writing, if you don't know the other person, you can't have a conversation, let alone persuade them.
So, understanding the psychology comes first.

In the book, the chairman is a symbolic icon representing all bosses.
If you know the chairman, who is at the top, you will naturally know the president, department heads, and managers.
Because from below, you can't see up very well, but from above, you can see down clearly.
This book not only allows you to accurately grasp your boss's psychology by looking into his or her head beyond his or her solid armor, but also teaches you how to develop a broader perspective by seeing things through his or her eyes.
It shows the essence of writing for office workers, starting from psychology and completing through communication.


Commute to work becomes easier and work life becomes more enjoyable!
A must-read for smart, hard-working people who will transform your office into a utopia!


The key to writing that your boss recognizes and your colleagues envy is ‘relationships and communication.’
Workplace writing is neither an essay nor a novel.
Psychology is more than half.
If the relationship is bad, no matter how well written the writing is, it won't be read.
Relationships are psychological.
You have to read your opponent well.
To write well, you need to know your readers well.
In the end, speech, writing, communication, relationships, and psychology are all one.


There are many writing coaches and writing books.
However, no author has as much experience in the office field as this one.
It's not easy to find advice this heartfelt.
If you read this book, you will understand your boss.
Understanding reduces misunderstandings.
If you are a boss, you can gain wisdom in communication after reading this.
This is a welcome book that will transform the office, which has been a scary place to go to due to generational and value differences, into a 'utopia.'
This is a must-read book that everyone, from those just starting out in society to those in their senior positions, should keep by their side for a long time.
