　　Contrary to the common belief that good communication skill is vital to becoming a leader,actually leadership is practiced not so much in words as in actions that inspire confidence. Itmay be said that leaders are usually good talkers but the reverse is not necessarily true. Aleader had better be recognized as a dealer in confidence, one who knows the way, goes theway and shows the way and, in addition, is good at the art of communication as the languageof leadership.

　　A leader's right actions plus perhaps effective words can do magic to get the message carryingconfidence across to others and guide them to hope more, dream more, become more, andeven fly higher. This refers particularly to an extraordinary leader as a politician whose betterideas lead to popular trust, as often happens in more difficult times. Remember a Chineseproverb to that effect? "Not the cry, but the flight of a wild duck, leads the flock to fly andfollow." One's good communication skill, like talking more and speaking louder, mightotherwise be just hollow words, should one's deeds not match that kind of virtue which winstrust from followers. Accordingly, it stands to reason that the greater one is in power aboveothers, the more one ought to excel them in virtue since none ought to lead who is not betterthan others.

　　To do justice to good communication skill, it is better to look at it as a big advantage ratherthan a great virtue in the moral sense of the word. As can be seen ever so often, what mattersto the audience is the singer and not the song, meaning a crafted talker can move the mob,even though the message may be far from correct politically. And that is probably why so manyordinary leaders are seen, who represent the power of persuasion and not the real aspirationsof their followers. From this viewpoint, good communication skill alone may actually make anordinary leader, but may still be short of making a good leader, let alone a great leader. Thedifference lies in that a good leader can inspire people to have confidence in the leader. And agreat leader can further inspire people to have confidence in themselves as well.

　　The confidence factor aside, good talkers have always ruled and will continue to rule, with theresults of some cases ending well and some ending badly. Therefore it is desirable having thecombination of the virtue of leadership and the art of eloquence. Nevertheless, the ultimatetruth must be acknowledged that true leadership is always associated with virtuous actionsrather than simply with skillful communication in words.
