″...for most professional EA roles, and especially for “thought leadership”, English-language communication ability is one of the most critical skills for doing the job well”
Is it, really? Like, this is obviously true to some extent. But I’m guessing that English communication ability isn’t much more important for most professional EA roles than it is for eg academics or tech startup founders. These places are much more diverse in native language than EA I think.
Yeah, I want thought leaders to be highly proficient in logic, statistics, and/or (preferably ‘and’) some key area of science, engineering, philosophy or social science. I really don’t see any strong need for them to speak pristine English, as long as they can write clearly enough in their native language that someone can easily translate it.
