Degrees, Accomplishments, Opportunities, Intelligence go a long way in building a career BUT …

In order to be successful, a leader needs to possess two attributes:

• Interpersonal skills: to engage with people and develop meaningful relationships in order to
• • Motivate and Inspire others
  • Provide Mentoring and Coaching
  • Manage and Resolve conflicts

• Communication skills: in order to express his/her thoughts clearly and compellingly, in a manner readily comprehensible to his/her team members. This allows
  • Idea dissemination
  • Meaningful dialogue
  • Rational dissent
  • Acceptance of and adherence to a leader’s vision and strategy

And while corporate communication occurs in both the verbal and the written form, the most critical ideas are always committed to writing. Writing allows others to read and analyse a concept or argument at length, without the constraining pressure of groupthink, or succumbing to the seductive charisma of an accomplished speaker.

Knowing this, many canny managers prefer the immediacy of a discussion or presentation to push through unpopular or poorly advised goals. Confident leaders, on the other hand, are willing to share their thoughts, objections and concerns in writing, allowing colleagues and team members time to ingest and deliberate, singly or in groups, in order to facilitate real acceptance through consensus. In fact, poor writing skills – coupled with the lack of consensus and real comprehension – can lead to an incoherent strategy and sub-optimal execution.

Thus, in an increasingly globalised world – where English is the language of business and commerce – it is important for aspiring leaders to be able to write their ideas with ease in that language.
