Great Leaders Speak Well

Most leaders spend a lot of time talking—for example, to individuals casually and formally, to small groups, to the audience of formal presentations, to attendees during Zoom meetings, to peers, to supervisors, and to the public. Add up all those scenarios, and it becomes obvious that the thing you probably do more than anything else is speak. All those oral communication situations contribute to an organization's culture and have an impact on your effectiveness as a leader.
