Can
a leader’s words really make a difference?
They can… if they are used to build trust and
achieve results that benefit individuals and the organization.
Think Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, or Colin Powell! These
three leaders have used words of conviction, compassion, and
courage to unite their people in body, mind and spirit.
While much has been written about leadership and communications,
few authors have explored the nexus of the two topics -- leadership
communications. Until now!
Great Communication Secrets of Great Leaders provides
real-world insights that can help leaders turn their spoken
and written words into leadership messages that inform, exhort,
and inspire others to achieve improved results for themselves,
their teams, and their people.
In Great Communication Secrets of Great Leaders,
readers can explore how leaders can develop, deliver and sustain
their leadership messages to build greater levels of trust
and to achieve desired results.
Who should read Great Communication Secrets
of Great Leaders
Aimed at men and women in supervisory positions, Great
Communication Secrets combines easy-to-read theory with
practical tips along with stories about men and women leaders.
Featured in the book are profiles of Winston Churchill, Mother
Teresa, Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, Shelly Lazarus, Jack
Welch, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Vince Lombardi, and Bill Veeck. |
