Praise for Executive Presence

In todays dog-eat-dog world where degrees from the finest schools, high cognitive abilities, and superior technical skills are merely threshold competencies, it becomes increasingly important for career success to stand out from the pack and project a leader image that others look up to and want to follow.

We live in a reputation economy. What you think of yourself is irrelevant compared to what other people think of you, and that is especially true if you want to be a leader. This book provides an authoritative guide to shaping how others see you and emerge as a leader. Dont read it unless you want to be one!

Harrison Monarths sprightly book Executive Presence departs from the mainstream of self-help literature in three important ways: (1) it concerns how to get ahead in ones career as opposed to learning how to feel better about oneself; (2) it is evidence-based as opposed to being based on personal intuition and experience; and (3) it focuses on improving how a person is perceived by others (i.e., improving a persons reputation) as opposed to increasing self-understanding.
