Effective Communication for Leaders

Thursday, Jan. 15, 2009

David Palmer

Leaders must be effective communicators in order to get the right things done on time and on budget.  The classic trap is that we approach the challenge backwards by starting with logic.  The key is to focus first on connections.

  2. Belief: The essential factor
  3. Appeals: Logic and emotion
