[Slideshare] Cracking the 'Executive Presence' Code
Looking at the business world today, every leader needs a 'secret sauce' to stand out from the crowd.
As a leader, regardless of the environment, you find yourself, you need that undefinable quality to gain access to opportunity, manage diverse personalities and command attention. Do you have that undefinable ability to inspire confidence in others and make people just want to 'be around' you?
Executive presence is a term and skill that many business and HR professionals struggle to understand. However, it is critical for growth and a mainstream business term that is recognised globally. Professional or Executive Presence involves instilling confidence in others - peers and senior executives - to show that you have the potential for great success.
Executive presence requires you to be reasonable, empathetic, cool-headed, use good judgment, and make rational decisions. However, it might be impossible to achieve this when there is self-doubt, a mismatch in the values you present and how others perceive you, or when you are under stress.
Additionally, professional presence may come effortlessly to some leaders but may need years of practice for others. You could be stalling your career if you fail to make an effort to fill any soft skills gaps, develop executive presence and improve others' perception of you.
How can you get the buy-in of others and make them have unwavering confidence in your abilities? How can you create the right perception when you meet new people?
