3)GAZE- Eye contact that is direct, engaging, and steady is highly endearing. Effective leaders engage others by making steady eye contact that is welcoming and which shows interest

4)VOICE- Influential leaders have learned that a deeper resonating voice makes a big difference and the research backs that up

5)TOUCH- Even in this day and age influential leaders employ touch. Not to harass or patronize and certainly not in a sexual way, but within the social norms of society that say, “I care.”
