Synopsis

Are you “leadership material?” More importantly, do others perceive you to be? Sylvia Ann Hewlett, a noted expert on workplace power and influence, shows you how to identify and embody the Executive Presence (EP) that you need to succeed.You can have the experience and qualifications of a leader, but without executive presence, you won't advance. EP is an amalgam of qualities that true leaders exude, a presence that telegraphs you're in charge or deserve to be. Articulating those qualities isn't easy, however.Based on a nationwide survey of college graduates working across a range of sectors and occupations, Sylvia Hewlett and the Center for Talent Innovation discovered that EP is a dynamic, cohesive mix of appearance, communication, and gravitas. While these elements are not equal, to have true EP, you must know how to use all of them to your advantage.Filled with eye-opening insights, analysis, and practical advice for both men and women, mixed with illustrative examples from executives learning to use the EP, Executive Presence will help you make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive.

Before I dive into the actual review, let me tell you why I've reached for this book (bear with me, this is important): A few weeks ago I've seen a short (2-3 mins long) video on Twitter. A group of anti-vaccine protesters in the US was being dispersed by Police forces. Police have used (adequate IMH......more

Goodreads review by Tom LA on September 18, 2024

This is an updated version of a book that the author had already published in 2014. I have no clue why I ended up reading this, but I did. The book offers a lot of anecdotes and examples, and some of them carry some interesting insight, but the content overall is rather shallow, just like the concep......more

Goodreads review by Ellen on January 25, 2024

This definitely has useful tips, experience and research to share. That being said, most of the advice and research shared seemed to tell us that women and minorities need to act more like the stereotypical white male leader to be successful -_- At least the author addressed the double standards min......more
