Communication

Leadership involves working with others in a variety of ways: listening, explaining, persuading, motivating, presenting, and developing teams. Well-honed communication skills are key to problem solving, overcoming differences, and eliciting the team’s best efforts. These skills are necessary for success in group/organization and civic leadership, but they are significant enough in themselves to be designated as a separate area.

Possible activities include:

  • Participating in public-speaking courses or organizations
  • Writing for a newsletter or newspaper
  • Communicating your values in a significant way
  • Introducing speakers or emceeing events
