“People don’t leave an organization;
they leave a boss.”

This has become a truism in the workplace for good reason. Often, the boss causing the
retention problem has moved from buddy to bully unintentionally. The boss has been promoted
from supervisor to manager or from manager to senior executive with brilliant technical skills but without
the accompanying leadership and communication skills for the job.

As a result, these leaders—whether new or seasoned—are stuck in micromanagement mode. This book helps them get unstuck.

Communicate Like a Leader prevents micromanagement by providing principles to help professionals think, coach, converse, speak, write, and meet strategically to deliver results.

In 36 very brief chapters, leaders learn to communicate ideas, vision, and initiatives strategically in various formats and settings to audiences up and down the organization. As a result, you as a leader will be able to . . .

• Interview and hire top talent for your team
• Avoid hiring toxic employees
• Give usable feedback as a coach, not a critic
• Connect to strengthen your network and increase the value of your personal brand
• Think on your feet to “say a few words” with poise and credibility
• Present persuasive recommendations that get action
• Run productive meetings that deliver results
• Deal with poor performers so they don’t demoralize your team
• Negotiate to achieve strategic goals
