Product Description

Review

A revealing glimpse into the minds of men and women who fill the papers and are responsible for over 2m jobs. In an overcrowded field, this is a book about leadership that offers rare insight. Not only thanks to the wealth of interview material, but also thanks to the intimate nature of their answers. (City AM )

Murray uses his own analysis and experience as a business coach to put forward a compelling case for leaders to improve their integrity and communication skills....There are many books on the theory of communication, but this one details what actually works in practice. Murray's questions to the leaders provoke honest and implementable actions for others to follow in this highly readable book. (Edge Magazine )

Book Description

Chairmen and CEOs of high-profile global organizations talk about how they have risen to the challenge of inspiring, influencing and achieving great results and reveal what they believe about successful communicating in the age of transparency.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind your language, 27 Jan 2012
By 
Mr. P. Cook (GILLINGHAM, KENT United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Language of Leaders: How Top CEOs Communicate to Inspire, Influence and Achieve Results (Hardcover)
The Language of Leaders offers a unique insight into the communications preferences and styles of an impressive line up of leaders - from Airbus to Lloyds and Unilever.

The book adopts a storytelling style, which makes it an easy read. This comes directly from the author's experience as a journalist and advertising expert.
Following on from Charles Handy's work which looks at the 3 faces of leaders and Rob Goffee And Gareth Jones work on followership (Why should anybody be led by you?), Murray's book follows themes such as authenticity, intelligent emotion (rather than emotional intelligence) and engaging employees.

Interestingly he takes the view that emotions are important in business, contradicting the school of thought that suggests that emotions should be suppressed. I personally think this is a more authentic and realistic take on leadership, neatly summed up by Lou Reed "I do me better than anyone else".

The Language of Leaders includes a fascinating series of biographies into the great and good that comprise the interview subjects for the book. It's a great insight into life at the top of the business world and the power of language and stories to change minds and behaviours.
