“Executive presence has to do with the whole of the person. It's much more than presentation skill, charisma or savvy. It shows up in three dimensions of the leader's persona - character, substance and style. It's now clear that for a leader to influence and make an impact, it is important for them to also develop qualities such as authenticity, integrity, resonance, practical wisdom, and vision.” ImportantCharacterQualityLeaderVisionInfluenceStyleIntegrityAuthenticityPersonaCharismaSavvy Author:Suzanne Bates

We all have strengths, but where we have gaps, we can make small changes in our behavior that make a big difference in how others see us as leaders.” PhilosophyQualityLeaderShareBehaviorHaving Strength Author:Suzanne Bates
“We must reflect a holistic view of the leader, in three dimensions, character, substance and style. Character consists of the qualities that win trust whereas substance consists of the qualities that earn us credibility; style is the dimension of execution - getting others to get things done.” DoneCharacterWinningQualityLeaderStyleCredibility Author:Suzanne Bates
