What is gravitas, really?
Maybe it came up in a review or was feedback you received after a particularly challenging meeting. Gravitas is one of those qualities that sounds important, until someone tells you to "have more of it."
Then it becomes frustratingly vague.
Using research into psychology and social perception, The Gravitas Guide breaks the meaning of gravitas down into the six qualities outlined in common executive presence frameworks, such as the work of Sylvia Ann Hewlett.
Instead of trying to look more confident or command the room, this guide will help you understand what having gravitas looks like in practice as a leader, so you know exactly what to change and how to carry yourself instead in that meeting on Tuesday.
