You know most what being Presidential is when someone isn't
6 Attributes of TCRALI Leaders - what they cause us to feel that we attribute to them
Trust = we trust them to keep their word.
Confidence = we feel confidence in them because of what they have already accomplished.
Respect = we respect them for the values they live by.
Admiration = we admire them for how they conduct themselves in the face of adversity and crisis.
Likability = we like them and they like us.
Inspiring = we are inspired by them because they lift us up.
If you disagree with the above, how much would you want to follow a president who triggers distrust instead of trust, doubt instead of confidence, disappointment instead of respect, embarrassment instead of admiration and discouragement instead of inspiration.
To quote Maya Angelou,"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" especially when you offended, insulted, degraded or humiliated them.
4 Traits of TCRALI Leaders - what we see
Unflappable = they are mission centric vs. having personal ego invested in winning or losing. That mission has to serve the people they represent. In the case of the US President that mission means serving the economic, health and well being and security needs of the common good rather than the "privileged" few. By not ever taking anything personally they never need to act defensively, sullen or reactive in any way.
Present = they communicate heartfelt understanding and compassionate towards the fear, hurt, insecurity and anger of the American people so that people feel cared about, but they remain steadfast in accomplishing the main mission.
Knowledgable = they know what they're talking about vs. giving pat answers that lack conviction or credibility.
Wise = they know what's important and worth fighting for and what's less important and not worth fighting for. And their judgment calls and decisions are guided by that wisdom.
As stated regarding TCRALI leadership, if we don't think these behaviors are important, consider what they do to your Trust, Confidence, Respect, Admiration, Liking and feeling Inspired when you see someone being thin skinned instead of unflappable, shut down or attacking instead of being present, full of b.s. instead of knowledgable or foolish/clueless instead of being wise.
