All of us have been students once upon a good old time.

All of us have gone through the phase of being evaluated as being either good or bad

ot-so-good
(and over the last decade we have learnt that incorrect choice of words can have negative impact on the self esteem)

We have grown up to be leaders of our own making through learning and observation. But how often do we really 'look the leaders' we portray or made out to be?

This article here made me re-ponder about this valuable aspect of being a leader and maintaining the poise of a leader in tough times.

What I gathered from the blog is that leadership styles as seen/perceived by others impacts their perception of what a leader should be like and what makes an effective leader.

That leaders themselves should also ensure that how they behave in public presence makes a huge difference to gaining respect and attention from team members.

Does it not mean that if a leader had complete awareness over his/her emotional projection, then the overall persona that one projects radiates a huge amount of confidence and command which in itself makes the individual stand out as a good leader?

Such people would have made conscious effort to control their emotional projection and hence were able to speak a positive body language.
