Public Speaking for Leaders
Communication Strategies for the Global Market
About This Book
This book studies the art of public speaking as oration instead of just ornamentation. It repositions public speaking as a fundamental business leadership act and a solution-enabling and problem-solving communication approach. Drawing on in-depth case studies, it considers various situations that a managerial leader encounters and delivers speech solutions as strategic manoeuvres for attaining desired targets.
The volume:
- Deals with public speaking exclusively from a business perspective;
- Produces a workable manual of managerial public speaking that introduces the concept of oration as Or-Action (oratory that leads to desired action);
- Presents a variegated analysis of speech texts from history, politics, fiction, social media, film industry, platform content, and business-product presentations;
- Customises speeches into unique speech clusters where readers can readily find the type of speech texts they require for their own specific content development.
The first of its kind, this book will be a key text for entrepreneurs, corporate managers, academic practitioners, and executives. It will also be of interest to students and researchers of behavioural economics, rhetoric, strategy, communication studies, business communication, fiction theory, generation studies, and virtual reality studies.

On September 26, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon stood before an audience of 70 million Americans – two-thirds of the nation’s adult population – in the first nationally televised Presidential debate. This first of four debates held before the end of October gave a vast national audience the opportunity to see and compare the two candidates, and ushered in a new age of Presidential politics.2
