What type of Leader do you want to like on Stage?

I am taking a course through the Wharton School of Business on Executive Presence and Influence and our last lesson focused on why presence is so vital particularly during periods of change. Leadership is a privilege. You are on stage. Your teams are watching you.

Some of my key takeaways were:

1. It's not what you do but how you do it

2. If you are going to take then you have to give

3. Word choice matter - use language that captures attention and use words that stick

4. Be humble

5. End on a positive

What does your presence look like on stage? Is this something you are thinking about?
