From the Book Jacket:
You know charisma when you see it in executives who exude self-confidence, style, composure, authority, and a boundless energy that propels them straight into the corner office. You work just as hard, contribute just as much; you're talented and ambitious, but what can you do? You're either born with charisma, or you're not, right? Wrong! In Executive Charisma, D. A. Benton demonstrates that charismatic executives are not just born, they are made.
Executive Charisma introduces a proven six-step program for transforming yourself from a competent manager into a true leader. You'll learn how to think, act, and communicate like a C-level executive (CEO, CFO, CIO, etc.), and you'll discover powerful tools for developing and fine-tuning the complete executive charisma skill set. Drawing on interviews with the world's leading executives and research studies, Benton reveals that people skills account for 85 percent of why we get, keep, and move ahead in our jobs.
With the help of this no-nonsense guide, you'll improve your interpersonal communication skills, learn how to manage upward, and find ways to project confidence even when you're feeling insecure. You'll discover how to use humor to put others at ease, develop an impressive executive bearing, and to take charge of your life, your career, and your destiny.
