Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers
Quotation: "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Interpretation of Quotation: Leaders always have the responsibility to build the link bridge of communication among the members in a team. It is necessary for a successful leader to have excellent communication abilities so that he can convey an accurate message to the members in a clear and understandable manner. Beside delivery a message, the excellent communication skills can also help the leaders encourage or motivate others better. Without these skills, whatever valuable messages and ideas a leader processed may not lead to effective results.
