Convey the essence of leadership with every communication.
 
Everything you communicate has the power to secure or sabotage your impression. But while you may be an empathic, visionary, responsive, inspiring, authentic, supportive, and humble leader, the lasting impact of those qualities hinges on your ability to communicate them effectively in words and expressions.
 
Drawing on decades of experience as a presentation coach, speechwriter, and executive at Time Inc., PBS, and MTV, Joel Schwartzberg offers unique mindsets, actionable tactics, and diverse examples to help you leverage the most powerful leadership tool you have: your voice. Whether you're giving speeches, telling stories, sending emails, posting messages, recording videos, or running Zoom meetings, these are essential practices for establishing authority and engaging your audience. 
The Language of Leadership will show you how to inspire, not merely inform; communicate with purpose and power; and sell, not just share, your most important ideas.

"The Language of Leadership is a comprehensive toolset of smart, thought-provoking, and actionable leadership communication tactics and an important fresh perspective on what it takes to truly lead. Joel Schwartzberg wisely points out that to be truly effective and inspiring, leaders need to know how to connect through words and communicate goals, hopes, and vision in away that ignites teams and connects them to the lasting impact of the work. This is a guide I'll return to over and over again for its clear and specific advice on how to communicate effectively and have meaningful impact as a leader."

I’ve read through Joel’s previous book on “Get to the Point”. That was also an excellent tool on why our communication matters and how best to get to the point on our communication.

This takes it up a notch and applies it to a Leader’s role for better communicating. Whether that’s in a weekly meeting, giving a business update, or recognizing the efforts of specific team members in a zoom call. This is a must have guide.

Highly recommend.

The style of writing and no-nonsense to the point message is great. Lots of examples in real context. I love that the author is not trying to teach you to be Steve Jobs.
Have read many books in this topic and this is definitely top 3.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, Practical Tools You Can Apply Right Now in Your Leadership
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022
When reading this book I found that there were very few pages that I did not put my highlighter marker on. In fact, I took 29 pages of notes on a book that as 120 pages long. This book was that impactful. I cannot be more clear when I say that there are thing that I started applying immediately as I read the book. One of the first points I put into practice was to ask the question, "am I simply pushing content, or am I inspiring my people?" Pushing content does not lead, inspiring and engaging my people is clearly part of The Language of Leadership. Some of the things Joel Scwartzberg shares I knew, but I didn't realize just how important they were to communicating more effectively as a leader and I needed to be more intentional about putting those things into practice and paying attention to the detail. There is a fundamental question that seems to pervade through out the book, "Am I speaking as a leader for my agenda, or am I speaking because it is what my people need?" Powerful changes occur when you wrap your mind and actions around that one question. Really a great book!
