The Power of Being Articulate: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Wealth and Happiness

by Pete Geissler

Overview

Start with this thought: Your success in your professional, financial, and personal life depends to a great extent on your ability to articulate. I first learned the truth and power behind that statement when I lived in a grimy coal-mining and steel-making town in Pennsylvania, where it was clear that articulate professionals were more successful than the less articulate miners and mill workers. My education continued years later at the top levels of government, business, and academe where I observed power brokers and decision-makers use their considerable skills with language to think clearly, arrive at logical decisions, and convey those decisions clearly to others. And over the years, I saw that my happiest friends and associates were able to communicate clearly with spouses and others with whom they enjoy close relationships. "In short, my intuition told me that language is the root cause of a more fulfilled life. Along came Pete and this book." - John Yasinsky, Former CEO, GenCorp

About the Author

Pete Geissler is a freelance professional writer who specializes in management/leadership, engineering/science, and energy/environmental issues. He is deeply concerned about the poor and deteriorating image of business held by the general public and governments, which he feels can be reversed by broadening g the mindsets of managers to be more thoughtful and humane-- without compromising profitability. In The Power of Dignity, Mr. Geissler decries managing for stockholder value as a destructive philosophy, and proposes replacing it with Managing for Dignity. He offers solid empirical and anecdotal evidence that doing so creates sustainable competitive advantage. The first edition of Dignity, published in 2004 as Managing with Conscience for Competitive Advantage, was a Finalist, Best Books 2004, awarded by USA Book News, with this comment: “This wonderful title suggests a management direction that could prevent more of the same large-scale failings (such as the Enron debacle) and restore a sense of social consciousness to management.” John Burroughs, Reviewer, Midwest Book Review, added: “More than just an ethical handbook, (this book) is a ‘must read’ chock full of prosperity-building tips, tricks, and techniques for small and big business managers alike.” Don Nusser, Vice President, Hatch Mott MacDonald, agrees: “Powerfully convincing … a vastly important, necessary change to the way businesses could and should be led … mandatory reading for executives worldwide.” *** The Power of Dignity is the first of Pete Geissler’s leadership books; all are connected thematically by their single purpose: to be the thinking leader’s model for sustainable competitive advantage. The second book is The Power of Writing Well, followed by The Power of Ethics. Leaders who understand and practice these three foundational bulwarks will enhance the productivity, profitability, and competitive advantage of their organizations. The books were born from insights derived from more than forty years consulting with leaders of various businesses and professional associations. Mr. Geissler’s other books include: The Power of Being Articulate; The Power of Writing Well; Divorce can be Such Sweet Sorrow, and BigShots’ Bullshit,.
