I’ve read hundreds of books and articles on leadership and the one constant that comes across is the ability to communicate.

Communication is critical in leadership. Think of any business, sport, personal situation. Natural leaders all can mesmerise you with words, good and bad.

The one skill and talent we should all be working on is how we communicate.

I’m not talking about speaking on stage and selling, sales and influencing. I’m talking about effective conversations with your team and colleagues, business leaders.

Being in difficult business conversations and becoming better and better each time it happens.

Grow as a communicator and your leadership ability will also grow – they are intrinsically linked.
