ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents failures in executive forms of communication—in their words and in other forms of communication—and explains what contributed to their failure in terms of concepts that have been favored in executive development circles. Using these examples and showing how they may have been corrected, it helps the reader to understand the delicate balancing act associated with the executive position and how messages can be managed with a compassionate approach. As indicated, one's socioeconomic position can affect how they perceive a given executive decision. The book focuses on theories espoused in leadership studies, using them as a foundation on which to build an approach to applying a reasonable means of formulating a message that has the challenge of meeting the needs of multiple audiences, including what is best for the organization one leads.
