We
know it when we see it, yet understanding how it’s created
and developing it can be difficult. Increasingly, effective
leadership is being defined by elements such as emotional
intelligence, authenticity, credibility and personal grounding.
The leader’s ability to make an impact, influence a
direction, create an emotional response and motivate others
to act are the critical outcomes that define outstanding executive
success.
Beyond the critical components of day to day communication,
we’ve defined Executive Presence as:
“an authentic quality of poise and
effectiveness that enables an executive to connect with a
range of people and influence successful outcomes”.
Through our research and experience, we’ve identified
the Eight Dimensions that need to come together to create
Executive Presence (EP), and what we believe is the “Integrated Executive”.
Four of these dimensions are intrinsic to the person and,
therefore, “intrapersonal” in nature. The remaining
four dimensions are more directly pertinent to the experience
others have with the executive, thus positioned as “interpersonal”
in nature.
We believe that the interpersonal dimensions are, to a varying extent, driven by the intrapersonal factors.
Therefore, all eight dimensions have to be considered as an
integral system when assessing for and intervening to accelerate
and build Presence in an executive.
The Accelerating Executive Presence (AEP)
Experience has been designed to rapidly develop these eight
dimensions in participants attending.
