President Barack Obama is rightly considered an exemplary communicator. His rhetorical skills, an ability to paint pictures with words so that others not only see what he sees but feel it too, are what catapulted him into the national political consciousness. However, in the time since his election, the world has gotten a close-up view of the variety of communication styles that Obama utilizes to connect with others.
An examination of his tactics is essential to understanding his leadership style, and reveals useful techniques for leaders in other walks of life:
Challenge. "Yes We Can" was the campaign theme. It served as Obama's call to action as well as his putting people on notice that if they wanted a different America, they would have to work for it. He would lead the charge, but he would need their support. That challenge will be put to the ultimate test in the future, when he will need to make tough decisions that will irritate his base of supporters. When that occurs, he will need to challenge them as he challenged the status quo
