As the head of the company, your clothing, hair, and makeup say something about your company. Make sure your personal style conveys the image that you want your company to portray. It’s also important to know how others see you and how you fit into the competitive landscape, that is, how do you compare to the leaders in your field?

To have a positive impact in your communication, deliver information in headlines.” THE HIDDEN FACTOR: EXECUTIVE PRESENCE by Sally Williamson The Hidden Factor defines what executive presence is, how you get it and how it can be leveraged to define a leader.
