Features: Liu Bei's quick-witted words cost Lu Bu his life; Jing Xinmo's quick-witted words saved himself. The reason their words could determine life and death was because their verbal arrows instantly pierced the other's heart—in this lies the power of impromptu speaking. Leader impromptu speaking, also known as leader improvisational speaking, is a way of speaking in which leaders, without prior preparation or with insufficient preparation, deliver remarks spontaneously in response to the moment, the event, the scene, or the emotions. Leaders often need to speak in unfamiliar settings, which requires them to have strong improvisational speaking skills. Even in prepared situations like negotiations, speeches, or, the lack of improvisational elements fails to achieve good results. Therefore, the level of a leader's impromptu speaking reflects, to a large extent, their speaking ability and leadership capability. Based on the important role of impromptu speaking in leader communication, interaction, and management, this book not only collects classic cases of renowned impromptu speaking masters' eloquent and persuasive words but also summarizes a set of rules for leader impromptu speaking. We believe that after reading this book, readers will greatly benefit and elevate their language skills to a higher level.
