Vocal Leaders
Vocal leaders display the same commitment, confidence, composure, and character of Leaders by Example, but they go a critical step further in that they are willing to step outside of themselves by verbally encouraging, motivating, challenging, and holding their teammates accountable. They have excellent communication and listening skills. They know when and how to encourage teammates as well as when and how to get tough and enforce the rules.
