People in a group are present for each other
There is a tendency for a shepherd/boss to stand out from the sheep/workers
Workers have operational presence ie they implement
The Boss has executive presence ie he plans, monitors and evaluates – this generates a lot of activity in the pre-frontal cortex
Boss = leader, manager, administrator with strategy, tactics, operations
Executive presence – charisma – stand out from the crowd – clothes, body posture, social skills, work the crowd, work-related conversation rather than idle chit chat, gravitas
Vocal executive presence – when your voice helps in making you stand out from the crowd. Strength, confidence, clarity. Appearance, communication skills, gravitas.
As a teacher, lecturer and public speaker I developed a commanding voice – especially when presenting to people for whom English was a second language. These days, with Parkinson’s Disease there is a loss of the fine motor control that makes a commanding voice possible. Arguably my ‘written executive presence’ is getting better but I have no objective evidence.

Leaders know they must embody executive presence to get ahead, influence others, and drive results. Leadership development professionals know they must help their executives develop it
