Description: "The Language of Leadership is a guide that examines the relationship between language and effective leadership. Author Roger Soder shows leaders - no matter what their field - how to use ethical persuasion to cultivate public trust and build legitimacy for their cause. And most important, The Language of Leadership clearly demonstrates how a leader can accomplish this within the context of democracy - the larger context of leadership."--BOOK JACKET.
