Executive presence is quickly recognized and just as quickly noted when missing. It is a critical characteristic for successfully stepping into a senior role, engaging with priority customers, inspiring others, and gaining trust as well as respect.
Executive Presence is easier to recognize than to define…
Many leaders instantly have the authority their role implies.
Others struggle to be taken seriously.
Many leaders are assumed to have a position due to their confidence.
Others have a title that goes unnoticed.
Many leaders have a magnetism that attracts the best talent.
Others struggle to gain respect.
Many leaders present themselves in a manner that states they are in charge.
Others are second-guessed.
Many leaders have an image and persona that demands respect.
Others are quietly dismissed.
Many leaders speak in a way that compels one to listen.
Others are never heard.
Many leaders build relationships with a broad array of constituents, including adversaries.
Others search for support.
Many leaders have social astuteness for all situations.
Others are notably out of their element.

 | | What is Executive Presence? |
|
It is a sense of credibility that compels others to seek your opinions, to believe in your decisions, and to follow your direction. When you speak, people listen. When you don’t speak, they want to know why. When individuals need support, they seek you out. When people want the truth, they ask you. When a leader is needed, your name automatically comes up. You magnetically attract clients and employees as well as business and career opportunities.
As you can see Executive Presence is the whole package. The higher the position, the greater the expectations. Our research determined that Executive Presence has the following five dimensions:
- Knowledge & Experience
- Leadership Savvy
- Advanced Communication Skills
- Executive Image
- Social Acumen
