The Hidden Factor defines what executive presence really is, how you get it, and how it can be leveraged to define a leader better than any other quality being measured. Executive presence has always existed, but in recent years, it has resurfaced as a hot topic among C-Suite executives, succession planners, and development officers. It is one of the top qualities evaluated in potential leaders and is often the missing component that limits promotion.

Written by one of the world's leading communications coaches, Speaking as a Leader shows you how to make the most of your daily communications.

When stories are used in business settings, we expect them to deliver more. We need stories to be remembered and repeated. That's a challenge. Using stories isn't as easy as it may seem, both in terms of shaping stories to align with business situations and telling stories that are compelling enough to repeat. In this audiobook, Sally solves both challenges by providing insights on the listener's perspective and concrete tools to shape storylines and stories that deliver impact.

For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

David Marquet, an experienced Navy officer, was used to giving orders. Marquet acted like any other captain until, one day, he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. Marquet realized he was leading in a culture of followers, and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things. Struggling against his own instincts to take control, he instead achieved the vastly more powerful model of giving control.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Publisher's Summary
There is no question that executive-level conversations are difficult ones. When we surveyed managers about executive conversations, 90 percent said these conversations are harder, and an overlap of 20 percent said they are significantly harder. Executives are a tough audience. Luckily they are also a predictable one.
Leading Executive Conversations provides a framework for organizing an executive-level conversation to deliver value and to lead an executive to a clear decision. This approach has helped hundreds of managers shift from a survival strategy to an impactful one. That's critical because your ability to lead an executive conversation earns you the opportunity to have another one.
