SIE 2016 Effective Communication

 Tutorial T3 task 3: 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 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

My partners and I have come out with the conclusions regarding the task above.

Being an effective leader is someone who can communicate well and influence others using one's abilities and knowledge to gain trust from peers. Especially in the engineering industry, it is important to share one's knowledge and bring a group of people together towards a similar goal. As a leader, it is important to be able to influence and encourage others to understand the principles/beliefs that one possess.
