Are you searching for the perfect executive position? Whether you have been an executive in the past, or are working your way up the corporate ladder to an executive position, you must perfect your executive presence!
This is more than how you produce and how you carry yourself in your job, it is often said that it is a combination of the following traits:
- Composure – it is important that you can show you have composure and can remain calm at all times. How do you handle pressure of a deadline, or the yelling from a disgruntled employee? Staying calm and collected is a trait that every executive must have!
- Connection – are you able to connect with others? This quality is often overlooked, but one of the most important in solidifying relations with other staff members. It is important that you are able to connect with others, understand, and convey your message to them.
- Charisma – often considered frivolous, charisma is a trait that is often used during networking and closing deals. You have heard the saying, “charisma goes a long way.” Do not overlook this important trait!
- Confidence – being confident in your work is important, but be careful you do not go too far with it. You must find the balance where confidence is present, however, show that you are not afraid to admit when you are wrong.
- Credibility – you can build your credibility over time. As you progress through your career, you will have many opportunities to show your credibility. Remember that every action you take will affect this.
- Clarity – many executives lack clarity, which is why they lose their way. It is important that you remain clear about your goals, the goals of the company, and those around you.
- Consciousness – being aware of all that goes on around you is difficult, but a good executive is always in the know. Take the time to listen and remain conscious about others.
