How To Build your Leadership Presence

Leadership Presence - “You Know It When You See It”.

Surprisingly the most difficult part is to define the ‘It’ here. There is no tried and tested recipe for leadership. It is like the perfect blending of different ingredients of personal and interpersonal skills – some you have inherited; some you have achieved. When you present this appearance armoured with confidence – you can really leave an impact on every onlooker.

You have to master the art of winning people’s trust by showcasing the right amount of knowledge with confidence. With the skill to communicate verbally and non-verbally, you can send the right signal. The ways you appear or make others feel can add a ‘wow’ factor to your personality. You need to express your thoughts, ideas, and visions to motivate the people and encourage them to keep their trust in you.

When you enter your workplace, always remember that you are hired for your knowledge, expertise, and experience but these skills are not sufficient to climb up the ladder of leadership. It is the time to fast-track your advancement and start polishing your skills to upgrade your professional career.

? Influence People: The leaders know how to communicate, emphasize and influence the people in an engaging way. By improving your way of executing engaging conversation; you can strengthen your workplace presence.

? Win over your Inner Critic: It has been that confident people can attract more followers with their thinking, motivation, and risk-taking ability. The only thing that you need to get rid-off is self-doubt. From your way of speaking to your posture; your self-confidence should reflect on everything.

? Identify Your Unique Skill: Authenticity is the strongest key factor of the personality of the leader. Know your value proposition and articulate it to create your own leadership brand with all the unique attributions.

? Avoid Minimize Behaviour: When you are meeting people, you should not only focus on your conversation skill, but also on other elements like your posture, voice tone, mood, and body language. Make sure people perceive the message the way you want – do not detract from the message by minimizing your presence.

? Emphasize on Others: Surprisingly, you can increase visibility in a crowd by focusing on others. The leader is not the loudest person in the room but one who listens to others and actively answers and participates in the conversation. The leadership presence never lets others feel uncomfortable.????

? Bring Positivity: The final attribution of leadership quality is creating a positive environment to boost productivity. The person must make others believe that they can achieve anything if they truly want. With leadership presence, one can help the workplace to thrive and grow.
