LEADING SELF: GROWING YOUR LEADERSHIP PRESENCE AND INFLUENCING FOR IMPACT

There’s a certain experience of executive presence imbued in all truly successful leaders. It’s how you connect and communicate with, as well as influence and inspire, says Ric Roi, Professor of Leadership and Organization at IMD.

A great leader is a rare, yet essential breed. Given the freedom to shape an organization, it is frequently you who is the root of all advancement. Crucial to any success is your ability to inspire others to believe in a vision that is clear and compelling.

In today’s business environments, your strength in ‘owning the room’, demonstrating gravitas, communicating to influence, and quickly building rapport with others has become a must-have skill set.

A COMMANDING PRESENCE

Progressing into more senior leadership roles requires you to be receptive to new rules in new situations, to understand when to be bold, and when to exercise restraint and control. Equally crucial is the ability to deliver strategic communication and influence across a range of stakeholders.
