Establishing Leadership Presence – 12 Steps
Want to be seen as a leader in your industry, your company, or your organization? The 12 Steps of Establishing Leadership Presence will guide you on how to exude and exhibit the leadership presence required to gain influence and make a positive impact on your workplace.
Are you striving to be acknowledged as a leader in your domain, your firm, or your organization? The 12 Steps of Establishing Leadership Presence will guide you on how to exude and exhibit the leadership presence that's crucial for garnering influence and forging a positive impact on your workplace.
Leadership presence entails readiness, exemplifying professionalism, and the capability to take charge of a room. It involves stepping into a leadership role among various audiences, sharing your ideas and views confidently, and finding the right balance between speaking and listening so that your communication style is both persuasive and influential.
Regardless if you are in safety, operations, project management or any other field, establishing leadership presence is fundamental to expanding your influence with others, positioning yourself in roles where you can impact your personal growth, your company, your business, and the larger world around you.
This online course, 'Establishing Leadership Presence - 12 Steps', is engineered to supplement the BIS platforms’ Leadership for Safety online course. While Leadership for Safety delves into the foundational, modern leadership principles necessary for existing Safety Leaders in the workplace, these 12 Steps are crafted to equip learners with the essential tools needed to ascend to leadership roles that lie beyond their current role.
This course is designed for employees aiming to enhance their reputation, social influence and ultimately their position in the organizational hierarchy. These 12 Steps are crucial for every position in the organization, but particularly for safety leaders / potential safety leaders who are aiming to be taken seriously in the workplace and use their influence to boost their workplace safety culture.
Upon completion of this course, learners will grasp the significance of:
- Appearance: Dressing for success. Dressing for the position you aspire to, not the position you currently occupy.
- Punctuality: Punctuality is equivalent to respect. Arriving on time or even early, demonstrates your commitment to the meeting you are attending and shows respect for other attendees.
- Time Management: Strategies for managing time amidst a plethora of tasks and distractions.
- Motivation & Focus: Goals require philosophical, emotional and motivational “FUEL” to stay on course. With the host of distractions, enjoyable activities and/or setbacks constantly working against our goals, we need to recharge our motivational FUEL cells from time to time to stay on course.
- Preparation: Appearing knowledgeable, “on-the-spot” to senior managers that you would like to influence requires preparation. Whether it be for upcoming interviews, meetings, presentations (that you are giving) or any other situation where you might be tested, you must be prepared.
- Relationships and Communication: Communicating well and treating others with respect and dignity at all times is one of the best ways to establish Leadership Presence.
- Likeability: You cannot build the social influence needed to establish Leadership Presence with co-workers, clients and senior managers if you do not treat people with respect or say and do positive, kind, and thoughtful things regularly.
- Being Informed; Staying Current: Being informed on the popular issues of our time e.g., Economy, Safety, Environment, Diversity & Inclusion, LGTBQ2 etc. helps you demonstrate to others that you are up-to-date on the hot button issues facing leadership teams in the workplace.
- Competence: Competence is the MOST IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE to establishing Leadership Presence. Far too many incompetent poseurs, impostors and pretenders are “all sizzle, no steak”.
- Networking & Collaboration: Ingratiate yourself to others. Connect with people in your field, share information and knowledge with them to establish rapport which can then lead to long term professional relationships based on trust.
- Accountability: Consistently following through on your commitments will instill a sense of trust in you among co-workers, and clients. Building a reputation as “someone who can be relied on” will empower you to walk tall and establish a Leadership Presence.
- Public Speaking: Public speaking (done well) at conferences, industry meetings, internal meetings etc. is the QUICKEST WAY TO ESTABLISH leadership presence in your company and in your field.
