A large part of leadership is effective communication. Yet, it doesn't always get the kind of focused attention it deserves, probably because "communication" is often comprehended only at a superficial level (fluency, reading, writing, etc.). Leadership Communication goes much beyond the 'what' and 'how' steps of usual communication. It needs a very specialized understanding of the strategic core of Communication, seen and perceived in the context of ever evolving business, technology and cultural landscapes.When used strategically with a deep understanding of all its dimensions, leadership communication can move mountains!
