How To Communicate Executive Presence: Forbes Magazine on the top three skills
“ … leadership potential is signalled through an employee’s gravitas, communication skills and appearance….”
No. 1: Excellent Public Speaking
Great speaking skills were identified as the most important communication requirement. Leaders must be able to speak well with the press, in front of groups and one-on-one.
No. 2: Ability To Command A Room
Commanding a room means getting people to listen when you speak–through great speaking skills, confidence and standing tall.
No. 3: Assertiveness
Assertiveness is equally important for men and women to attain the top jobs. It means speaking up with confidence but without being confrontational.
