English Summary/英文概要: Right-wing, left-wing, Republican, Democrat, Independent, anyone interested in Presidential politics and the world stage – and even those who aren’t interested in politics at all -- everyone agrees that Barack Obama exemplifies some of the most persuasive communication techniques since JFK and The Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan And like JFK and Reagan, Obama offers business leaders and anyone aspiring to be a leader valuable lessons on constructing a compelling argument, facing tough issues, and addressing critical underlying realities in order to move others to action. Using excerpts from Obama’s already legendary campaign speeches and other public remarks, this book dissects Obama’s techniques of articulating, inspiring, and translating a vision into action.

Library Journal Xpress Reviews recommends Say it Like Obama for “all collections” noting that it’s a “timely examination” that “admirably highlights Senator Obama’s rhetorical techniques.”
This morning, Dr. Leanne was interviewed by Fortune magazine senior writer Anne Fisher for a column this week on communication lessons to be learned from the high-profile job interview that is the 2008 presidential election.
Verdict: This book admirably highlights Senator Obama’s rhetorical techniques for readers looking to hone their own speaking skills. Given the excitement surrounding Obama’s campaign and his oratory, this should prove to be a popular title for both general readers and those professionally engaged in presentations. Recommended for all collections.
Background: Leanne (How To Interview Like a Top MBA), formerly on the faculty of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, offers a timely examination of the rhetorical skills of Senator Barack Obama to show how readers can adopt his methods for persuasive speaking. Book-ended by a transcript of Obama’s 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address and his acceptance speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the text parses Obama’s methods, demonstrating how he adroitly conveys his messages with examples from his current campaign and his U.S. Senate career. The author clarifies how the reader can employ these same methods of persuasion and presentation, including body language and use of pauses as well as actual word choice.---FROM Library Journal review: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6605378.html#Nonfiction
