Personally I feel her her analysis lacks psychological or scientific grounding, and it can lead to questionable conclusions—for instance, her assertion that these tendencies are hard-wired: “They don’t change depending on whether we’re at home, at work, with friends. And they don’t change as we age.
People decide how competent you are in a fraction of a second
Factors used to determine your competence: 7 percent words, 38 percent presentation, and
55 percent body language.
Be authoritative – playing high
• Keep a still head
• Speak in complete sentences
• Hold eye contact while talking
• Move smoothly
• Occupy maximum space
• Lean back
• Slow down
• Spread your body to a full, comfortable position
• Look down at someone (tilt your head back a bit)
Be approachable – playing low
• Nod in agreement
• Smile even when it’s not funny (a fake smile showing the top teeth)
• Hold your hands near your face while speaking
• Sound breathless or start sentences with “um
• Speak haltingly and in incomplete sentences, edit as you go, trail off
• Adjust what you are saying to make others understand; explain yourself
• Yield to the higher-status person in speaking—let her take the lead and drive the conversation
• Take up as little space as possible; space constrains your body
• When walking, move out of another’s path
• Check others’ eyes briefly, looking for understanding and acknowledgment
• Look up at the other person, tilting your head down
• Lean forward to check the other person’s responsiveness
build rapport
Body language can shift the dynamics of relationships, interactions, and outcomes
To be perceived as authoritative, act high. To be perceived as approachable, act low. Do not try to act high and low at the same time. Match your body language to the message or intention.
Male and female leaders may behave the same but they’re perceived differently
Women who appear competent are often perceived as less likable. Women considered likable are often thought to be less competent. Men don’t face this trade-off. Women can begin to address this dynamic by knowing when to act high and when to act low.
