About this audiobook
Are you “leadership material?” More importantly, do others perceive you to be? Sylvia Ann Hewlett, a noted expert on workplace power and influence, shows you how to identify and embody the Executive Presence (EP) that you need to succeed.
You can have the experience and qualifications of a leader, but without executive presence, you won't advance. EP is an amalgam of qualities that true leaders exude, a presence that telegraphs you're in charge or deserve to be. Articulating those qualities isn't easy, however.
Based on a nationwide survey of college graduates working across a range of sectors and occupations, Sylvia Hewlett and the Center for Talent Innovation discovered that EP is a dynamic, cohesive mix of appearance, communication, and gravitas. While these elements are not equal, to have true EP, you must know how to use all of them to your advantage.
Filled with eye-opening insights, analysis, and practical advice for both men and women, mixed with illustrative examples from executives learning to use the EP, Executive Presence will help you make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive.

Reviews for Executive Presence
63 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was OK, it mainly focuses on minorities and women. It doesn’t give you techniques just advice. Some of it is good, wear a nice suite, polished shoes, stand up straight and speak clearly. Use your differentiators as an advantage and promote every group in the workplace to enrich your gravitas and the company’s strengths.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Roadmap with helpful tool kit and advice particularly for women
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5somewhat bias in focus but good insights nonetheless
