Original Quote

"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

Paraphrased according to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp

“As a leader, it is important to constantly grow in the aspect of communication skills. They are required to have the knowledge and ideas to invoke a sense of urgency and motivation to others. If a leader is unable to convey the message that they are trying to bring across and enable others to act on it, there will be no use to the message.”
