Martin, your article highlights an essential approach for leaders aiming not only to stand out but also to maximize their impact in an increasingly competitive market. The EBO (Executive Brand Optimization) framework addresses critical elements such as personal branding, thought leadership, and continuous development, offering a practical guide for executives to strategically position themselves. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on the importance of online profiles and original content creation as tools for establishing authority in one’s field. In a time when trust and visibility are key to unlocking new opportunities, EBO seems like a fundamental strategy. One thought to add to the conversation: how can leaders balance authenticity with the need to meet market expectations when building their executive brand? In many cases, the pressure to optimize might risk compromising the human and genuine aspects that also inspire trust. Congratulations!
