They don&#8217;t try to be something they&#8217;re not. When they communicate, it comes across as sincere, heartfelt, factual, appropriate to the topic. If they don&#8217;t know the answer, they say it. If they make a mistake, they own it. They&#8217;re not trying to be something they&#8217;re not&#8230;.perfect.  One senior person I know at Morgan has a big personality&#8230;.and because he&#8217;s also smart and kind, people care about him.  I was talking to someone about him, and the individual said &#8220;That&#8217;s my boy.&#8221;  <\/li><li><strong>They are consistent<\/strong>: they&#8217;re not moody, they don&#8217;t swing from one end of the spectrum to another. They don&#8217;t make everyone else tippy toe around them. They are not emotional. One senior manager I worked for&#8230;never, ever saw her lose her temper or curse.<\/li><li><strong>They are fair<\/strong>. They don&#8217;t play favorites and spend more time with one person than others, they don&#8217;t give one person on their team a perceived advantage (or disadvantage). Their relationships are not viewed as personal.<\/li><li><strong>They are great communicators<\/strong>. Some of the most senior people I&#8217;ve seen are the most boring communicators around. I remember one senior leader who just spoke for an hour randomly. If you&#8217;re not good on your feet, create structure through a presentation. If you&#8217;re not naturally exciting, invite others to speak. Communication is about how you make people feel and walk away understanding&#8230;.it&#8217;s not about making everyone come along your journey of getting better.<\/li><li><strong>They are polite and subtle.<\/strong> They don&#8217;t do email during a meeting, they don&#8217;t get distracted. They don&#8217;t belittle others in a meeting. They don&#8217;t make inappropriate jokes. They don&#8217;t make other people uncomfortable. I remember working for the head of a big business at Amex, and I was the most junior and new person on his executive team. He always made sure I was seated at his table at any event. Subtly, he was telling others that my role was important&#8230;.and it went a long way. <\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently someone asked me about executive presence.
