The Five Dimensions of Presence™

A five-dimension system for how leadership presence really spreads.

Most leadership models focus on the leader. This one focuses on the leader-in-system — recognizing that presence isn't just what happens in the room. It's interdependent, always active at once, across five dimensions of how a leader shows up.
