Everybody wants executive presence, but no one seems to be able to teach you how to get it, which is a shame because it's the killer skill for any leader. Sure. You could take a class, but no professor or YouTube tutorial is going to prepare me to enter the ring with Mike Tyson - in his prime or even today. Nope, not gonna cut it.

You could ask someone who has it, but they will either not know or what they do know will not work for you because, well, you're not them. There's no drumming advice Tommy Lee could give me that will enable me to sit in for him at a Motley crew concert. Not even close.

Well, what about imitation being the greatest form of flattery or fake it till you make it? Nope, also non-starters.

So what will work? It's simple, but not easy. All you have to do to have executive presence is convince the person in front of you that you have the ability to lead well in the given situation. That's the simple part.

How do you do that? It depends - on you, on the other person, and on the situation. There's no silver bullet hack that anyone can give you because the variables are too many. That's the not easy part.

However, if you can, by your presence and your actions inspire that confidence, you will have executive presence. And exploring all the various ways you can do that is the goal of Executive Presence Morsels. Remember, it's not what you say, do or wear, it's how you make people feel that generates the executive presence. Nothing else matters.
