Micro review: Elevate executive presence with 3 P's: Poise, Power and performance by Samira Gupta

Credit: Elevate executive presence with 3P's: Poise, power and performance/ @zorbabooks This book by Samira Gupta explains what it truly means to present yourself as a leader in contemporary workplaces. It interacts with such themes as self-awareness, emotional intelligence, clear communication, good decision-making, and professional presentation, not as discrete skills but as interdependent parts of an ensemble. A lot of attention is given to self-awareness: paying attention to personal values, learning about emotional triggers, and identifying blind spots. The thought is that self-knowledge-based leadership is more stable and directed. What is the book about? Poise is not only defined as composure, but also as a combination of inner confidence, feeling for others, and the capacity to remain calm in pressure situations. This carries over into observable behaviours—how leaders present themselves, how they dress, how they use body language—and how those external signals can reinforce what they believe in. Communication is treated as central to influence. There's attention to listening as much as speaking, using negotiation thoughtfully, and shaping stories that connect rather than just persuade. Decision-making draws on established frameworks, but the emphasis is on applying them in real, uncertain situations rather than following formulas. Performance is seen more widely, not just results, but attitude too. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Nikoo Homes from ₹1.2 Cr* Nikoo Homes Sadahalli Learn More Undo Resilience, flexibility, and emotional stability are regarded as indicators of leadership that construct and do not exhaust. The book also examines how to build spaces in which individuals can feel comfortable to speak up, try things, and learn—borrowing the idea of psychological safety. Issues such as managing conflict, managing change, and building inclusion are dealt with as applied leadership issues and not ideals. Overall, it presents a systematic approach to thinking about executive presence—not as an imagined presentation to provide, but as habits and attitudes that can develop in response to the challenges of contemporary leadership.
