As the cycle of change increases its speed, leadership
communication is becoming more important than ever. Since the
original publication of Leading Out Loud in 1995, the development
of a leader's message has become as critical to success as the
delivery of that message. In this new and revised edition of his
highly praised work, Terry Pearce explains how the events of recent
years, including the information revolution, worldwide focus on
terrorism, and the revelation of corporate scandals, have
significantly increased the importance of authenticity in
leadership 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 its many forms of
expression from speeches to e-mails, memos, and even informal
"water cooler" conversation. Pearce shows leaders in business,
politics, and nonprofits how to communicate their values and vision
to inspire commitment; he provides tools and examples from
well-known leaders as well as less-known but effective change
agents.Leading Out Loud gives readers concrete methods for
improving their own communication by guiding them to do the
internal work necessary for creating an honest and compelling
vision, and by demonstrating how readers can find their authentic
voice and articulate their messages with confidence. People make
commitments, says Pearce, to causes they value and to people they
respect and trust. An authentic voice and an inclusive perspective
are requisites for any leader who would inspire change. Trust is
built by communicating from both the mind and 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 else who wants to
inspire positive change through others.
