True leadership presence means you are not lost in task, role, or ego. Rather you are anchored in self-awareness, relational clarity, and systemic insight. It's the capacity to bring your whole self; body, mind, and spirit into the workspace with curiosity, openness, and the courage to confront complexity and your own failings and shortcomings. It is not about senior leaders leading from the proverbial ivory tower. It is about being present in the ditches regardless of how high up the corporate ladder you sit. It is about showing up.
