Ok, I've got a leadership question for the group.

There are some men whose mere presence commands respect. They walk into the room and people just say "That guy must be the leader, even though he hasn't said anything yet." The ones that I've met are mostly Admirals and Captains, though I'm also finding a few of these among senior businessmen now that I'm out of the Navy. I would suspect that a number of you also possess this attribute.

Is this something that can be learned, or is it just something these people were born with? Public speaking, assertiveness training, reading more books on leadership ... is there anything that can be done to train this attribute? Thoughts?


Thanks,
Dan
