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.

Whether it's among colleagues at lunch or an audience of 1000, a leader's role is to move and inspire others. It's not only the big occasions that test a leader's mettle, but the little ones as well - in a casual conversation in the elevator, in phone calls, or one of many incidental, seemingly "insignificant" interactions in everyday work life. 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.

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.

Fantastic framework for strategy + how to fail
- By E. Smakman on 01-03-13
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.
