Summary of Sylvia Ann Hewlett's Executive Presence

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 Executive presence is not a measure of performance, but rather of image. It is a combination of qualities that telegraphs that you have what it takes to be in charge or deserve to be.

#2 The importance of nonmusical factors is often overlooked by musicians. The way a musician presents themselves onstage is as important as their musical skills.

#3 The world of music illustrates the importance of image in the workplace. The best predictor of success on the competition circuit was whether a pianist could communicate passion through body language and facial expression.

#4 The three pillars of EP are how you act, how you speak, and how you look. They are not equally important, but they are all important. Gravitas is the core characteristic. Signaling that you know your stuff cold is more important than either communication or appearance.
