The Importance of Communication Skills for Engineers

"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 the 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

My Viewpoint:

It is important to interact and communicate well with your teammates in order to be a successful leader. Knowledge sharing allows the team to communicate, to work together better, and also a way of learning. If a leader is unable to communicate clearly and pass on the information, it can lead to confrontation and dispute along the way.
