Editorial Review:
As the cycle of change increases its speed, leadership communication is becoming more important than ever. Since the original publication of Leading Out Loud in 1995, the development of a leader's message has become as critical to success as the delivery of that message. In this new and revised edition of his highly praised work, Terry Pearce explains how the events of recent years, including the information revolution, worldwide focus on terrorism, and the revelation of corporate scandals, have significantly increased the importance of authenticity in leadership to build loyalty in organizations.
This new edition focuses on the source of a message for change, its development as a platform for leadership communication, and its many forms of expression from speeches to e-mails, memos, and even informal "water cooler" conversation. Pearce shows leaders in business, politics, and nonprofits how to communicate their values and vision to inspire commitment; he provides tools and examples from well-known leaders as well as less-known but effective change agents. Leading Out Loud gives readers concrete methods for improving their own communication by guiding them to do the internal work necessary for creating an honest and compelling vision, and by demonstrating how readers can find their authentic voice and articulate their messages with confidence.
People make commitments, says Pearce, to causes they value and to people they respect and trust. An authentic voice and an inclusive perspective are requisites for any leader who would inspire change. Trust is built by communicating from both the mind and the heart, speaking directly to the minds and hearts of others, listening to their response, and respecting their points of view. All leaders will benefit from Pearce's wisdom, as will anyone else who wants to inspire positive change through others.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Solid advice on communicating
A speaker may be able to wow an audience with technique and entertainment, but if everyone walks out the door unchanged, than the speaker is not a leader. The speaker who truly engages an audience and makes them think about themselves, their roles, their company or their country is rare indeed. To engage an audience on this level, you must have true conviction in what you say. At the heart of leadership is the ability to tap your own values and experiences and communicate them to others.

Rating:  - The Great Communicator Won't Have Anything on You
The second edition of Pearce's book provides both insight and practical advice for persons who want to lead and inspire change. Organized in two parts, the book begins with an examination of leadership and a path for developing a "message platform for change," and it concludes with advice on how to communicate the message effectively. As Pearce says, "in the process of change, communication is what fuels progress toward the new state." Whether you are leading a family, a business or seeking political ... Read More
Rating:  - Thank God this was only 150 short pages
I feel really bad for those poor students of Mr. Pearce who don't drop out of his class the first week.
This is the first book on public speaking that I've read where I honestly haven't taken anything from this book, and I've read about five. He talks about all of the mechanics of public speaking, but something big is missing from this book. Also, leadership via public speaking, which seems to be the titular topic of this book, is missing from the pages.
