As the cycle of change increases its speed, leadershipcommunication is becoming more important than ever. Since theoriginal publication of Leading Out Loud in 1995, thedevelopment of a leader's message has become as critical to successas the delivery of that message. In this new and revised edition ofhis highly praised work, Terry Pearce explains how the events ofrecent years, including the information revolution, worldwide focuson terrorism, and the revelation of corporate scandals, havesignificantly increased the importance of authenticity inleadership to build loyalty in organizations.
This new edition focuses on the source of a message for change,its development as a platform for leadership communication, and itsmany forms of expression from speeches to e-mails, memos, and eveninformal "water cooler" conversation. Pearce shows leaders inbusiness, politics, and nonprofits how to communicate their valuesand vision to inspire commitment; he provides tools and examplesfrom well-known leaders as well as less-known but effective changeagents. Leading Out Loud gives readers concrete methods forimproving their own communication by guiding them to do theinternal work necessary for creating an honest and compellingvision, and by demonstrating how readers can find their authenticvoice and articulate their messages with confidence.
People make commitments, says Pearce, to causes they value andto people they respect and trust. An authentic voice and aninclusive perspective are requisites for any leader who wouldinspire change. Trust is built by communicating from both the mindand the heart, speaking directly to the minds and hearts of others,listening to their response, and respecting their points of view.All leaders will benefit from Pearce's wisdom, as will anyone elsewho wants to inspire positive change through others.
