Communicate Like a Leader: Connecting Strategically to Coach, Inspire, and Get Things Done

Many professionals advance to leadership roles without developing the communication skills needed to convey an inspiring strategic vision to their teams. As a result, they often default to tactical management and micromanagement, which can alienate rather than engage their people. Dianna Booher addresses this gap by providing practical leadership communication skills grounded in research. The book offers guidelines across thirty-six chapters covering how to think, coach, converse, speak, write, meet, and negotiate strategically. It shows professionals how to communicate effectively with audiences throughout the organization to fulfill core leadership responsibilities and move beyond micromanagement. The book won an Axiom Awards Silver Medal.
