A significant part of having Leadership Presence is being present – in whole, in every moment, wherever we are, whatever we do.
‘Wherever you are, make sure you’re there’ said Dan Sullivan.
One could consciously work on being present. Presence means involvement. Presence means being conscious in the moment.
This morning I received a WhatsApp forward that talked about the context of a Pani Puri seller:
– 6 people standing, each on their 4th or 5th or 6th puri,
– Some already demanding a second plate
– Suddenly a new customer walks in, they don’t say ‘wait’, they just weave them seamlessly into the cycle.
– The seller remembers who is at which puri, keeps track of whose turn is next, (here different customers have different pace of consumption),
– Manages fresh plates, second plate, shared plates
– Customises the taste – extra teekha, extra meeta, no aloo, and so on…
– Balances chutneys so nothing runs out mid-cycle
– Manages stocks of ingredients on the go
– Handles payments – immediate, delayed, credits.
All of this is happening real time – with no Excel sheet, CRM, apps or team members.
What the seller has though is sheer presence. Absolute presence. Total involvement.
Presence, being present, is powerful – it enables us to be more, do more, influence more, and impact more.
