"Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter."
Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp
This quote highlights the importance of communication for effective leadership and its role in motivating others to act. Leaders should have the ability to inspire and encourage others by conveying compelling goals and fostering a sense of purpose. Without proper communication skills by the leader, it could lead to inconsistencies in goals and decreased morale between individuals. Regardless of the strength of the message, it will require proper articulation to individuals to achieve the desired goals, otherwise, individuals will struggle to act on it.
