Out of 3 pillars of executive presence, Gravitas is one of the main attributes of executive presence / leadership presence. This is one things that all great leaders have in common. Most of us are unaware of what 'gravitas' means. In business, it means 'executive weight'. A person with G-factor is able to provide respect to peers, to speak in public with dignity, and to address weighty issues.
Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa, is frequently cited as an example of a leader with genuine gravitas. It's not about being the most outspoken or powerful person in the room; it's about knowing your principles and convictions, being clear about your impact goals, and having the confidence to lead.
Gravitas is about knowing “ HOW TO ” : Gravitas is the capacity to carry oneself confidently and authoritatively. Express your opinion in order to persuade others to take powerful action and demonstrate your unique value.
Gravitas is what gives substance to a C suite level leader. It gives the leader Power to Influence team, clients, and stakeholders. It Inspires people to follow. And it can be cultivated over time. - Yoshita Swarup Sharma
