For more than 30 years Fred has been a coach, counselor, teacher, writer, and speaker whose clients include some of the largest and best-known companies and organizations in the world. Fred is president of the crisis management firm Logos Consulting Group and executive director of the Logos Institute for Crisis Management & Executive Leadership.

In this interview, Jesse and Fred discuss five of the nine fundamental leadership communication principles that are explained in the book:
- See communication as the continuation of business by other means.
- To move people, meet them where they are.
- Plan ahead and align tactics with strategy.
- Invest in continuous improvement in communication skills.
- Harness the power of language and of framing.
In addition, Fred answers several questions concerning the importance of communication in leadership, including:
- If communication is an indispensable leadership discipline, why does it seem that so few leaders invest time in building their communication competencies?
- What are the risks for a leader of not being a master at communication?
- What is the difference between framing and spin-doctoring?
