CVE1281-Effective Communication: Unit 1 - Task 3
“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 Amelio, a leader needs to be charismatic in order to get his message across, as it would be pointless otherwise, where he said, “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,”. People want a leader, not a dictator/boss. He needs to be able to choose a proper choice of words and use proper language that allows people to understand and carry out his visions.
Good method of paraphrasing sentences in the paragraph. Beginning the paragraph by mentioning the person's name is a good way to show that this was taken from a phrase spoken by someone highly respected.
