By: Dr. Marlene Caroselli
|
|
|
|
Leadership is demonstrated by words or actions. A effective leader
|
|
will possess excellent communication skills through the use of language.
|
|
"The language of power must be used to make things happen, to coalesce
|
|
people and purpose for the ultimate good of the organization." (Caroselli
|
|
1990, 34) In the book, "The Language of Leadership", the author Dr.
|
|
Marlene Caroselli states that our language is used to communicate, whether
|
|
it be verbally or non verbally (communicating with our bodies). She
|
|
believes that for a person to demonstrate powerful leadership, he or she
|
|
must hold the knowledge and know the power of language in the communicating
|
|
process. In her book, Caroselli describes the ventures of Lido Anthony
|
|
Iacocca, and his use of his powerful language skills in becoming an
|
|
astonishing leader, and Judy Columbus, with her superior knowledge of the
|
|
language of entrepreneurship.
|
|
|
|
"Recently, a Fortune 500 survey of top executives revealed that the
|
|
quality considered most important for promotion to a position of leadership
|
|
was not technical excellence, not financial knowledge, not marketing
|
|
ability, but communication skill." (Caroselli 1990, 39) l feel that this
|
|
quality must be possessed by all leaders in all categories, in order for
|
|
his or her corporation to function in a successful manner. If you do not
|
|
posses this quality, it will be difficult to reach the other members of the
|
|
organization, therefor making it difficult to succeed with the information
|
|
or directions being diluted through the communication process of the
|
|
organization.
|
|
|
|
A effective leader must employ some control over other individuals in
|
|
the corporation. People must be comfortable with using power, and show
|
|
the best moral obligation toward their organizations goal, and will not use
|
|
the power towards their own personal ambitions or goals. Some of the
|
|
most effective leaders carry a strong power drive. There are six different
|
|
types of power, legitimate power, coercive power, expert power, charismatic
|
|
power, association power, and persuasion power. Lido Anthony Iacocca
|
|
demonstrates all the above power characteristics, which led to his
|
|
incredible rebuilding of the Chrysler Corporation.
|
|
|
|
"Almost exclusively because of Iacoca's leadership, by 1983 Chrysler
|
|
made a profit, boasted employee morale, and helped employees generate a
|
|
sense of meaning in their work. He empowered them." (Bennis and Nanus
|
|
1985, 46) He had done this all after his recent firing from the Ford
|
|
Corporation. Many of the experts said that the Chrysler Corporation was
|
|
literally dead, but Iacocca was not afraid to reject the experts advice and
|
|
accept his own. He refused to accept defeat, and asserted his leadership
|
|
in a positive fashion. Some of his good qualities which brought him such
|
|
fame and fortune was his ability to spurt out the facts, not to be afraid
|
|
of what they depicted, and do the best he possibly could to improve or
|
|
continue the success of the method. He was not hesitant to share his
|
|
emotions with a crowd, or to inflame their emotions. He helps his
|
|
employees believe in themselves. I feel this is a key function in an
|
|
organizations success, if an employee cannot believe in himself, w can he
|
|
believe in. And if the employee cannot believe in himself, he will only
|
|
harm the company. Iacocca once said "It's the job of leaders to set the
|
|
rules and to enforce the rules, and most important, when the rules don't
|
|
work any more, to change the rules."(Caroselli 1990, 56) Iacocca was
|
|
making a point that the goals of the company be realistic, and if there is
|
|
a need for change, change should be made . Most importantly, he
|
|
understands that hard work pays off.
|
|
|
|
Judy Columbus is another successful business leader. In 1978, Judy
|
|
Columbus set her goals to form a corporation with "dynamic people set in a
|
|
competitive environment and conducting business in a spirit of affection,
|
|
confidence, and trust." (Caroselli 1990, 173) She is a Realtor who
|
|
administers 19 sales associates and four office management personnel, who
|
|
are all woman. This group produces sales of over 50 million dollars.
|
|
Columbus has received many leadership achievement awards, and is a lecturer
|
|
and speaker on "What It Takes To Become A Leader" to various professional
|
|
organizations. Columbus used and uses several of her leadership skills
|
|
(language of leadership skills), in her profession, where she communicates
|
|
with her employees, and when she is giving a seminar for a professional
|
|
organization. Some of her effective language leadership skills are
|
|
explained in the next few paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
A fitting framework should be used in communicating information, the
|
|
leader who is speaking should outline a skeleton on what he or she is going
|
|
to talk about and fill in that skeleton as he or she is talking. l feel
|
|
this is good because listener to the information can have something to
|
|
communicate it with.
|
|
|
|
Columbus gains attention of her audience by using examples from the
|
|
real world. For example, "when an officer at the first bank l called asked
|
|
me 'Does you husband support your venture?; l responded 'Does your wife
|
|
approve of your being a banker?'" (Caroselli 1990, 176) This is very
|
|
effective, because people are interested in the real world, and not just
|
|
fabricated examples.
|
|
|
|
To become an effective leader you must take risks. You must not take
|
|
wild, uncalculated risks however, but planned out, calculated risks, which
|
|
will have a modest chance of succeeding. The only way to climb the
|
|
corporate ladder, is to take chances. If you don't take chances, you will
|
|
be left at the bottom of the ladder.
|
|
|
|
Columbus feels that when asked tough questions, you should not back
|
|
away, but weigh the pro's and con's, examine the situation, and give the
|
|
answer to best suit the goals for the organization. If Columbus does this,
|
|
she will benefit the organization.
|
|
|
|
She also feels you must take these other factors in consideration in
|
|
becoming a powerful leader who has excellent language skills, finding new
|
|
challenges, developing a philosophy, and always develop a vision for the
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Although the author did not touch on any bad points of Iacocca or
|
|
Columbus, l feel that she left out a few important factors. She failed to
|
|
mention that in the communicating process, the deliver of the speech should
|
|
be loud, clear, and get right to the point. This is important because, a
|
|
good leader should be dominating, mentally and physically. The author also
|
|
failed to mention, that while communication and language skills are very
|
|
important, they parallel listening skills which are also very important.
|
|
|
|
The language of leadership is very important to the leader, because
|
|
this is how the he or she is communicating with his or her fellow employees
|
|
or employers in the organization.
