In this updated and expanded edition of her celebrated book
Executive Presence: The Missing Link Between Merit and Success, one
of the world’s most influential business thinkers reveals the
qualities essential to leadership in our fast-changing,
post-pandemic world. Some are timeless (confidence, decisiveness),
some are brand new (the ability to command Zoom), and all are
game-changers. Nearly a decade ago, economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett
cracked the code of executive presence (EP). Drawing on complex
data and in-depth interviews with senior executives from sectors as
different as finance and fashion, she demonstrated that EP is a
potent mix of gravitas, communication, and appearance. Executive
Presence became a classic. Translated into seven languages, it’s
helped tens of thousands of ambitious, accomplished professionals
(women and men, Blacks and whites) to fast-track their careers.
Chuck Robbins (CEO of Cisco), and Thasunda Brown Duckett (CEO,
TIAA), are among the leaders who recommend this book for any
up-and-comer seeking to rise through the ranks and do something
extraordinary with their lives. But EP has evolved. Black Lives
Matter, the #MeToo movement, and a global pandemic have changed the
leadership equation. But how? To answer that question, in 2022,
Hewlett embarked on a second round of quantitative and qualitative
research, targeting seasoned leaders and thirty-something-year-old
executives at the cutting edge of the new economy (fin-tech,
gaming, media). Her findings are timely as new executives find
their feet in a post-pandemic world. Hewlett demonstrates that in
2023 leaders worldwide seek to promote high-performing men and
women who exude confidence but also project authenticity and
inclusivity. They’re also intent on advancing those who excel at
leading remote teams and demonstrate a command of social media.
It’s no coincidence that Eddie Glaude, Amanda Gorman, and Gustavo
Dudamel are stars of this new edition of Executive Presence and the
usual suspects. Hewlett’s most potent message, ten years ago and
now, is that EP is eminently learnable. You don’t need to have
the voice of James Earl Jones, the communication skills of Steve
Jobs, or the athleticism of Michelle Obama to ace EP. You merely
have to arm yourself with the tools and tactics contained in these
pages. Â
