"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

According to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp. Having good communication skills is required for good leadership. To understand, the leader must be able to share his ideas and knowledge with everyone. If the leader is not clear on what he wants to portray to the rest, there will be a misunderstanding as the team will just assume what the leader wants.
