“Gravitas was one of the ancient Roman virtues that denoted "seriousness." It is also translated variously as weight, dignity, and importance, and (it) connotes restraint and moral rigor. It also conveys a sense of responsibility and commitment to the task...
Gravitas was particularly appreciated as an ideal characteristic in leaders.”

You know them when you see them.
They are people who effortlessly have power when they speak, when they lead a meeting, and when they enter a room or a conversation. These people make things happen. They move the world forward and they do it at no one’s expense. They make it abundantly clear that every member of the team matters and has impact.
They have presence and gravitas.
Gravitas and presence are not just innate traits – they are learned skills.
