Leadership Communication

by Deborah Barrett

The first edition of Leadership Communication was well received by students and instructors, and the second edition builds on that momentum. It continues to help current and potential managers become effective leaders by being better communicators. It brings together managerial communication and concepts of emotional intelligence to create a new model of communication skills and strategies for corporate leaders. It begins with chapters on the core communication skills of developing strategy, analyzing an audience, writing in all types of business genres, and designing and delivering effective PowerPoint presentations – all from a leadership perspective. Then, it takes students through chapters on emotional intelligence, cultural literacy, meeting management, and team leadership, before concluding with chapters on internal and external organizational communication.

This book was required reading in my Engineering management class, and I found excellent information in the book. I will continue to use it as a reference, but the book could give more examples and not just information.

I am a person that learns best from examples, and there have to be more people like me out that that would benefit from examples.

Absolute essential for leadership communication

The book covered the absolute essentials for leadership communication. Most importantly, the author presented all the attributes a good leader needs to equip themselves with. The presentations are impeccable and help sharpen the communication skills of a Transformational leader.

The content was really useful, but I was appalled at the number of typographical errors in this, a text on effective leadership communication!
