Booklist Review

An examination of effective communication and its impact on leadership through the selected speeches of leaders in business, industry, and public service--such as Tom Peters, Lee Iacocca, Mario Cuomo, and Kitty Carlisle Hart. Fundamentals of strong writing are presented through these examples, accompanied by exercises. The language of power, persuasion, and challenge is emphasized, but leadership training is as much a focus in this book as language. Guidelines for setting goals, assessing capabilities, and developing statements of philosophy are included. Administrators, managers, students, or anyone who gives presentations, conducts meetings, writes letters, or sends memos should find this text useful. Good, basic skills are discussed in a relevant, refreshing format. No index. --Betsy Levins
