Leadership in Communication is a cogent, bright, easily readable definition of what corporate communicators do. More than that, it’s an uncommonly careful look at how strategic communication defines, drives, and creates value for a commercial enterprise—its employees, its owners, and those whom they serve. — James S. O’Rourke, IV, PhD, Professor of Management, Mendoza College of Busi-ness, University of Notre Dame
