Review by Novice Speaker for Executive Presence: The Art of Commanding Respect Like a CEO
Rating:
I read this author’s first book on public speaking (liked it very much!) and decided to continue on my path of self-improvement with other relevant management books. This one really gets into the politics of interpersonal relationships and how to promote your achievements without stepping on toes or bragging. I knew perceptions (by others) influenced my career path and professional opportunities…I just didn’t know enough to map out a strategy that will help me manage those perceptions better. I felt that this book did a great job in providing that map. A bonus: well written with lots of engaging examples.

Review by Sarah Schlott for Executive Presence: The Art of Commanding Respect Like a CEO
Rating:
Absolutely love this book! Not only is Harrison’s thinking down to earth and practical but easy to understand and implement immediately. It has been a huge relief to learn that someone of his clout and experience believes and teaches you can reach the C-suite by leveraging what you already have, yourself – just managed. Harrison reminds me that we all have `that special thing’ if we could just hone our executive presence and plan for the career changing moments. Just over the past four months, I’ve used his knowledge on several occasions in my career and I continuously find myself in planning meetings and leading initiatives where I am the only person in the room that is not a VP or Executive. Why? Because I have been able to establish report, reputation and an executive presence that allows the executives to give me reign and freedom to show them the goods to back it all up. As Harrison points out, commanding respect like a CEO requires reading others, influencing perceptions, persuading naysayers, creating a personal brand, managing reputation and controlling any possible damage to the previous. It’s quite easy to lay out a strategy with his experience and research as a guide. In fact I’ve used several of the personal points within this book to ignite the company to go about the same transformation.

Review by Adam Wright for Executive Presence: The Art of Commanding Respect Like a CEO
Rating:
Excellent information written in an entertaining and lively style. Creating a personal brand is imperative in today’s über-connected society and how you go about it will determine your success. This book shows the benefits and cautions readers about the traps of personal branding in the age of social media. The author makes it very clear that the responsibility of managing one’s reputation has to be taken seriously as the consequences of either being invisible in our digital world are almost as dire as being visible in a negative way via twitter, facebook, myspace, LinkedIn and other social and professional networks. I for one will be much more careful about my online posting after reading this book. I also loved the step-by-step advice on how to increase one’s social intelligence, something that’s still not taught to any significant extend in most business schools, even though it is said to be a key factor in getting ahead and promoted at work.

Rating:
If your’re stuck in your current job, wondering what it takes to impress the way your boss impresses, this book has the answer. “Psycologists know one way to become a leader is simply to act like one” (TIME, March 2, 2009). Monarth’s book gives you the tools to present yourself in the best possible light, steady uneasy nerves and tear down the emotional roadblocks hindering your professional advancement. Great advice for those looking to breach the inner circle of top management.
