Leading with Communication, by bestselling authors Teri and Michael Gamble, prepares today's students to acquire skills, develop a global perspective, and master the technology they need to enhance their visibility and credibility as leaders. Addressing leadership from the students' perspective, the book facilitates in readers the ability to nurture their leadership and team-building talents. In this way, it helps them understand the leadership concepts and team-building strategies that business and professional communicators working and interacting in 21st-century organizations must master. The book's emphasis on skills, including its focus on developing the global and technological competencies that support the performance of leadership, promotes in students the ability to think critically and imaginatively. With this text, students will learn to communicate effectively as they also learn how to inspire confidence, foster innovation, and build an effective team. Indeed, they will gain fresh perspectives on how best to integrate skills and knowledge, build trust, and elevate worker performance. Now that's leading with communication!

The text is organized well and easy for my students to understand. The Theory Into Practice and Post It sidebars helped students with understanding and applying the more abstract concepts from the in-text information. For myself, it covered the material I deem most important to the study of leadership in group communication.

A useful overview of the importance of good communication for effective leadership. The book is well laid-out, easy to read and I think the encouragement to reflect on one's own capabilities is a very useful tool for continuous skills improvement.

It is valuable to have a text that addresses such a 'nebulous' topic as communication, and which does so in a manner that is useful and not patronising. Worth using.

Managers and leaders fail because they do not recognise the importance of communication in their organisation. Teri Kwal Gamble has pointed out vital issues they need to consider in this regard.

Key features
KEY FEATURES

  • Self-Reflection: Looking In and Out boxes in every chapter contain self-assessment and self-diagnosis opportunities designed to enable readers to think critically about their own skills, identify their personal leadership and team-building strengths and challenges, analyze the unanticipated/unintended consequences of leadership blindness, and bridge the gap between how they think they perform and how they actually do
  • Working It Out: Alone or Together activities focused on leadership, team-building, and communication challenges help students explore the nature of working collaboratively, including an array of ethical, cultural, and technological issues that could affect their ability to work in a team
  • Observation: Watch and Learn features in each chapter include activities designed to help students observe others in action, process the observed behavior to illustrate outcomes and effects, and identify and explain best strategies and practices
  • Post It: Imagineering a Better Way feature, found near the end of every chapter, lets students see theory in action and apply skills gained in the chapter by showing what experts in leadership judge worthy of implementing and what readers can try out or implement for themselves
