Command presence is presenting yourself as someone in authority which is trusted and respected. The key is projecting leadership authority with voice and stature.
In contrast, command presence combined with learning to see gray is being open to seeing a person's complete well-being.
Learning to see gray can enhance leadership effectiveness and exhibit stronger emotional intelligence. Sergeant Major Victor Allen, USA, Retired, is a native of Orlando, FL.
