The Language of Leadership - Interview With Joel Schwartzberg on 22nd Century Management

The so-what: Despite leaders giving themselves gold stars in communication, only 13% of U.S. employees say their leaders communicate well, according to Gallup research.

But it’s our words and awareness of their impact that make the difference between simply managing teams and inspiring them to do their best work.

Your presentation skills are critical.  Joel Schwartzberg discusses how communicating effectively is vital as a leader.
