Review:

"But no matter how good your business credentials or brilliant your intellect, (recruiters say) they're only the minimum requirement for an executive position. Without "executive presence" - a kind of self-confidence on steroids that encompasses your appearance, poise, communication style, energy and charisma - you aren't likely to secure a top job, whether in your current company or a new organization." - Wall Street Journal, 4/18/01; "What Benton teaches makes all the difference." - Diane Sawyer
