Chapter Four: Communication

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.
