Communication is the action verb of leadership. It's the means that leaders use to persuade others to believe, to join, to act.  

Persuasive communications is critical to business success. Business professionals must be prepared to succeed in press events, client or investor conferences, roadshows, tradeshows, speeches or business pitches.

They must also count on communication skills and techniques to bring discipline and alignment to their organization's branding, positioning and public relations.
