"the person with presence...is a living event.....His immersion in the urgency of what is brings others in; it compels them into sharing his agenda". Oh that we could have leaders with presence - but not all do. However, it would not go astray to include a consideration and understanding of "presence" in all leadership training. It might be a gift to some, but some aspects of 'presence' could be encouraged, developed and learnt by all those in leadership positions.
