Product Description
"In turbulent times, the ability to communicate with power and purpose becomes a crucial leadership competency. Smart executives realize that leadership communication isn't a matter of ""making nice,"" but a strategic necessity. Organized around an original model defining the important communication roles a leader must fill, The Leader as Communicator examines roles as diverse as trust-builder and critic, renewal champion and navigator, learning advocate and provocateur. The book presents case studies of organizations including Cadillac, Emerson, and Saturn, plus dozens of other examples. Packed with strategies and tactics showing how leaders can shape the communications climate of their organizations, the book culminates with assessment exercises that let readers measure their own communication skills. This insightful book demonstrates how to become a stronger, more confident leader -- one who can use communication to build alignment, enthusiasm, and productivity."

The "Leader as Communicator" for educational leaders, 2003-09-12
The Leader as Communicator is an invaluable resource for school principals. While written for and about the world of business, this book has direct application to the world of school leadership. The book is readable with clear examples and lists of strategies related to issues central to school leadership in this period of high stakes educational reform. The sections on incorporating the use of data into storytelling, helping employees create meaning for their work, and strategies for building trust are expecially applicable to school principals.
