In Leaders Understand the Power of Words, Robert Millwardrnattempts to draw the connection between some of the great oratorsrnin history and the void that exists in college preparationrnprograms and teacher presentations. He writes that “leadersrnunderstand the power of words, and possess an uncanny knackrnto communicate those words with passion and beliefs.” Communicationrnis often listed as the primary skill needed for all effectivernleaders, whether cited by John W. Gardner or throughrna review of the works by Tecumseh, Rev. Martin Luther King,rnRev. Jessie Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, orrneven Adolph Hitler.
