Leadership is the art and science of getting personal and organizational vision fulfilled. It is a combination of innate and learned skills that begin with getting a clear vision of what needs to be done and entails:
All the components of leadership listed above require the ability to effectively communicate otherwise the job will not get done or at best will only be done partially. There is therefore a strong link between being a good leader and being a good communicator.
I know one visionary leader who has brilliant ideas and yet struggles to get many of them fulfilled largely because though he is a good orator, he seems to have difficulty with enabling his team understand the details and importance of what he envisions. As a result he often faces resistance and sabotage from the team. It is often much later that the team comes round to understand the point of view of the leader and to recognize that he was right all along. By that time, precious time and opportunities have been lost.
If they are to take their followers into the future they envision, they must be able to convincingly portray what they see. This makes effective communication a very important part of great leadership. Every leader then must seek ways of continually improving their communication skills if they will become even better leaders.
You are welcome to join me in my journey of becoming a better leader and communicator.
