Public Speaking 101

Acccording to Suzanne Bates, in Speak Like a CEO: Secrets for Commanding Attention and Getting Results,

Business is about nothing but communication.

This would be a major revelation to the management where I work.

In addition:

Leading is about communicating.

My managers definitely do not know this.

I have just begun this audio book, and may discuss several noteworthy quotations from it in the next few days. I am suddenly fascinated by the relationship between leadership and public speaking, management and communication.

It's also interesting how the author of this book seems to agree with the authors of Leading with Kindness about the philosophies of effective leaders, "those we admire," according to Bates.
