Discovering Leadership Potential

Description

Executive presence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build. And it doesn’t come from trying to be someone else. It comes from understanding who you already are. In Discovering Your Leadership Potential, Scott De Long, Ph.D., lays out a clear and powerful path for growing your leadership from the inside out. This book is for anyone who wants to be more confident, credible, and connected in the way they lead, without losing their authenticity.

Through self-reflection, leadership inventories, and real-world application, you’ll uncover your unique leadership strengths and areas for growth. You’ll explore how values, behaviors, and mindset shape your presence, and how to bring them into alignment to inspire trust and influence others naturally. The book demystifies executive presence and reframes it as a learnable set of practices grounded in self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and consistency.

Topics include building emotional credibility, identifying your leadership style, closing the gap between intention and impact, and using feedback to reveal blind spots. You’ll also learn to communicate with more clarity, project confidence without arrogance, and handle pressure without losing your authenticity.

This book is especially valuable for emerging leaders, mid-level managers stepping into bigger roles, or seasoned professionals who want to strengthen their leadership identity. If you’re ready to grow, not just as a leader, but as a person, Discovering Your Leadership Potential will guide the way.
