"The word "poet" is taken from a root word meaning "I create". Poets don't create something out of nothing, however. It's quite the opposite. Poets read and interpret the culture around them, and then they put words to what they see. This is what effective leaders do as well. They are listeners, and they are wordsmiths."

"Great communication depends on two simple skills: context, which attunes a leader to the same frequency as his or her audience, and delivery, which allows a leader to phrase messages in language the audience can understand."
