Interpreting the Quote


"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


Effective leadership unifies individual efforts towards a common goal. Effective communication is the tool used by the leader to unify individual efforts. Effective communication conveys the conviction of the leader towards the cause and his knowledge in that matter. Often communication is seen as an indicator of one’s competency. A leader’s effective communication increases the team’s trust in him and his ability, laying the foundations for effective teamwork towards a common goal.
