A True Leader

Sat in awe last night watching former President Bill Clinton deliver an amazing speech on the true issues facing North America - Energy and Global Warming.

Asked to speak on Canada/US relations, Clinton basically told the jampacked audience that as close neighbhors we will continue to squabble from time to time but the bigger issue is the condition of the world today and into the future.

Clinton's conversation style puts his audience at ease before he hits them with startling facts and personal revelations that turn their world upside down. His style, his delivery and his knowledge create a delivery second to none - he truly is one of the greatest orators of our time.

To me this is a key ingredient in being a true leader - the ability to communicate. A remember the best communicators are also the best listeners!

Keep listening - you never know what you might hear.
