Good oratory is, like Gulshan has said, a plus point. But to be a good leader one needs to have many other skills equally or more important than oratory, including having sincere compassion for people's issues. Although nowadays it has become trend to follow politicians who are able to make more noise and make bold, rash statements. Take Lalu Prasad for instance, he did hardly anything for Bihar, in fact ruined it like no other could have done and yet people thronged his meetings in a mad rush, all in a haste to hear him speak like a buffoon! :blink:

LOL, afterall that has happened , his prison sentence etc he continues to speak as if he is a messiah and seriously thinks he will become the PM one day ! Honestly if people like Lalu ,Mulayam and Maywati become PMs then what is left here ?

There are duvided opinions about this...If we go back in history we see not many powerful leaders were good oraters vice versa....Hitler was a good orater but his speeches were written for him apparently by Henrich Himmler...Our own leaders from all parties speak most of the time out of context brewing hate as can be seen...
So, is it enough to be a good speaker to become a leader ?

As for as myself is concerned, there is no necessity that good speaker is fit for a good leader. It would be better and an added advantage if a leader has good speaking/convincing skills.

True. Many great leaders are not not good orators. Still they draw crowds. Late MGR is not a very good speaker. But he carries a personal charisma with him. His very presence makes the people run even from the remote villages to see him. Hitler stammers while speaking. But he's great crowd puller.About his leadership.world knows.
