Synopsis

Much has changed in the business world since the original publication of Leading Out Loud, Terry Pearces classic on authentic leadership communication. Now more than ever, the development of a leaders message is as crucial to success as the delivery of that message. In this new and revised edition, Pearce explains that the events of recent years, including the September 11 tragedy and numerous corporate scandals, have caused a loss of confidence and increased the importance of authenticity in leadership and building loyalty to organizations. The revised edition still shows leaders in business, politics, and non-profit how to communicate their values and vision to inspire commitment, providing action steps and techniques and analyzing speeches by well-known leaders to give readers concrete methods for improving their communication. But Pearce also focuses more on everyday, spontaneous communication, and how to develop a message that works in any situation. He explores the internal work necessary to create an honest and compelling vision, and demonstrates how readers can find their authentic voices and articulate their messages with confidence.

Read this in my one of my MBA classes. I appreciate the insights I gained from it on authentic leadership and also connection through writing. The process of writing what you believe and what to lead change on can be a revelatory experience and help clarify your own thoughts and motives before you b......more

Goodreads review by Chris on September 03, 2021

Clear and helpful, not inspiring or life-changing. Would appreciate a single-page note sheet of the highlights for reference. (I read the audiobook, which makes high-level structures tough to envision, and those would be useful here.) I find it interesting how much of this—especially the section on......more

Goodreads review by Kaitlyn on November 07, 2021

I listened to an audiobook version of this for school, which made it easier to get through it quicker while taking notes. It was a very thoughtful book and had a lot of great points. However, I think the book could have the same effect in half the number of pages or less. The overall summary this bo......more
