"Know your stuff, cold." I'm constantly reinforcing this concept. Subject matter expertise the easiest way to gain and lose credibility. If you can't have a conversation with someone that goes six layers deep, or ask a good set of questions to understand, it's the first sign it's probably not going to work.

The past week and a half or so was spent reading “The High-Potential Leader” by Ram Charan, “Leadership is an Art” by Max De Pree, and “Reagan on Leadership” by James Strock. I found “The High-Potential Leader” to be a great compliment to “The Leadership Pipeline” I read a couple weeks ago. While “The Leadership Pipeline” walked through the various career stages of leadership, “The High-Potential Leader” was geared toward being a tool for individual career planning and development, along with developing high-potential leaders should one have a role of people leader. “Leadership is an Art” was a quick and light read, but rich with examples of the human side of leadership. I found its examples from a people-centered focus of leadership refreshing. Throughout this reading journey, I’ve sought of a variety of perspectives to keep things fresh and see the same topic through a variety of lenses. Sometimes, they come from the business world, other times it’s military, political, or athletics. This week was a venture back to the polical with “Reagan on Leadership”. As one might expect, there was a heavy focus on communication, which is such a critical aspect of leadership. This book covered public speaking, leading group sessions and meetings, and even written communication. One example particularly stood out in which an elderly woman mistook a fundraising flyer for a personal invitation to the White House. When she visited DC and toured the White House, President Reagan called her into his office and spent time speaking with her. This is consistent with what I’d heard previously from one of Reagan’s former staffers that when he spoke to you, he made you feel like the most important person in the room. As leaders, regardless of stature or time, may we always strive to make whomever we’re speaking with feel like the most important person in the room. #Leadership #GrowthMindset #ClinicalOperations #ClinicalTrials

Executive presence has always been an important factor for leaders. And according to this study, the key factors of it haven’t changed. EP is not something easy to develop if it doesn’t come naturally. But, I do love the closing remarks that “It turns out that becoming a leader and doing something amazing with your life hinge on what makes you different — not on what makes you the same as everyone else.” Yes to that! #leadership #executivepresence
