What a press conference! A must learning for every CXO who faces varied perspectives and opposing point of views in meetings, boardrooms, during media interviews, and press conferences. Let’s keep our personal political ideologies aside and see what we can learn from this leader’s communication skills. You have to admire Syed Akbaruddin for: 1. His ability to accept his vulnerability and yet make an #impact
2. His ability to amp up his enthusiasm and #energy level and keep it constant.
3. His ability to #listen so sharply to the questions thrown at him.
4. His ability to appear #neutral in front of the quizzing journalists.
5. His ability to be in the #moment.
6. His ability to bring a sense of #humour in such a tense situation.
7. His ability to be so patient, tolerant, and #equanimous with a grilling audience.
8. His ability to #articulate his thoughts so #succinctly.
9. His ability to use figurative language to make his point more poignant and #persuasive.
10. His ability to project #power and #gravitas in such a high-stakes situation.
11. His ability to #share the context before he opens the facts.
12. His ability to project #warmth at the right time.
13. His ability to #influence the listeners.
14. His ability to #retort to a provocative journalist.
I give this media briefing a 9.9 out of 10. A mini point lost in fluency in certain areas. But then what the heck, no one is perfect. Cut him some slack! World requires leaders like Syed Akbaruddin to be an inspiration. Syed Akbaruddin you are indeed a star leader.
