Brilliant communication is one of the most important skills that any manager in a leadership position could have. There is a parallelism between performing in a play and communicating in the business world.
The actor prepares himself before going on stage; he rehearses, familiarizes himself with the setting, concentrates, explores the expressiveness of his face and his body, and then connects with the audience. Managers should follow the same path; presentation is performance.
