Unit 1 Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

Choose a quote and explain: "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


As a leader, you are the one carving a path for the rest to follow. You must ensure that everyone on the team are on the same page and understands the assignment. If you do not communicate well, you risk having your team losing confidence in you which can lead to them being dismissive of you. If you communicate well, the team will naturally become more motivated as they see and understanding what is required of them to fulfil the goal set by the leader.
