Not every great business leader is a big talker, but most are excellent communicators. Identify a business leader who you admire in your community. Spend some time observing that person "in-action."

How does he or she communicate? What is that person's communication style? What communication tools does he or she use? Do you think that communication skills are part of why that person is a successful leader? How do they relate to other leadership skills and to leadership style?
