The Leader as Communicator
by R Mai & A Akerson
Amacom, 2003
$56.95
Every leader faces many challenges during their tenure but three are common to all: building a loyal team, keeping the team focused in troubled times and keeping the team on the cutting edge of success. In order to succeed, the leader must possess one indispensable skill: the ability to communicate effectively.
Over time, a leader may be asked to fulfil diverse roles: trust builder, critic, navigator, provocateur learning advocate and renewal champion. The ability to communicate with strength and purpose is a crucial management competency – a strategic necessity in fact.
To fulfil the corporate vision, employees need to understand it in order to implement it and it is the leader’s role to explain it. Adding understanding to knowledge equals success.
The Leader as Communicator: Strategies and
Tactics to Build Loyalty, Focus Effort, and Spark
Creativity is a perfect book for anyone interested in learning how to improve their leadership skills.
Overall, an interesting book with a basic blueprint on how to become a better communicator and including assessment exercises to test the readers’ own competency at effective communication.
