1)VISIBLE – Exceptional leaders are seen, not just heard. Too many leaders today fail because they are too busy to be seen.
2)MANNERS-Manners are a form of nonverbal communication and when we are in the presence of a gracious host or a leader with good manners, it is attractive and rewarding
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.”
