Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

Hi, I am Zhi Qi currently pursuing a degree in BEng(Hons) Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Building Services).

"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, President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp

I personally feel that the key to a great leader is being a good communicator. As a leader who can have innovating ideas, but if he can't get it across to his team, it will only be a dream. He must be able to express his ideas well so the team is able to envision what the leader wants. And as a leader, you must be able to motivate others through your words and actions. Communicating properly with the team will allow everyone to work more efficiently toward the same goal.

  1. HI Zhi Qi, this is just some thoughts regarding your post.

    I personally feel that for this sentence: As a leader who can have innovating ideas, but if he can't get it across to his team, it will only be a dream.
    It would be better if its being structured in this way: A leader can have innovating ideas, but if he can't get it across to his team, it will only be a dream.

    Another one will be as follows: And as a leader, you must be able to motivate others through your words and actions.
    It would be better if its being structured in this way: A leader must be able to motivate others through your speech and actions.
