About the Book
An expert in coaching high-level players in
the art of perception management, Harrison
Monarth reveals the critical difference between
CEOs and those of us who wish to be
CEOs. It’s not a matter of intelligence, connections,
or luck. It can be summed up in two
words: executive presence.
While most of us toil in obscurity and expect
great things to follow, those on the path to
corporate leadership spend their time perfecting
the types of leadership communication
skills that generate respect and get others to
share their vision. They use these skills to
establish how they are perceived by others and
to manage their reputation throughout the
organization. In other words, these soon-tobe
top players have developed the presence
of an executive through careful image
management―and they make sure they have
the goods to back it up.
In Executive Presence, Monarth shows how you
can seize control of your own career using the
same skills. Inside, he explains how to:
- Accurately “read” people and
predict their behavior
- Influence the perceptions of others
- Persuade those of opposing views
to your side
- Create and maintain a personal
“brand”
- Manage and control your online
reputation
- Perform damage control when
things go wrong
Monarth’s conclusions aren’t based solely on
his keen insight and extensive experience;
they’re the result of the latest scientifi c research
in interpersonal communication and
human behavior.
Talent and skills are important, but they alone
won’t take you to the top of your organization.
People reach highly infl uential positions
because they deeply understand the power
of perception and know how to leverage
it in their favor. The good news is, anyone
with the will to succeed can do it. Executive
Presence provides all the techniques you need
to take your career to the highest level of
any organization.
