"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
To me this quote illustrates the need for a leader to be proficient in communicating, as the ability to communicate effectively with his team will allow him to fully tap into each and everyone of their potential realizing the full capability of his team.
