The top three skills for executive presence

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.
