In early 2012, Sylvia Hewlett and the Center for Talent Innovation fielded a national survey of thousands of college-graduate professionals in large corporations with the goal of cracking the executive presence code. Through this research, they learned that EP is a potent and dynamic mix of appearance, communication, and gravitas. These elements cannot be considered discretely, as they all interact and influence each other. For example, if your communication skills ensure you can “command a room,” your gravitas grows exponentially; conversely, if your presentation is rambling and your manner diffident or timid, your gravitas suffers a blow. Yet these elements are not equal-executives consider gravitas the most important, communication second, and appearance last. If you want true EP, you must know how to use all of them to your advantage. Executive Presence will help you make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive.
