I do not mean to suggest for a moment that all it takes to be a top executive is a custom-tailored European suit. You also need the correct shirt and tie.
You can take on the world in a good suit.
... a meddler who cannot leave his subordinates alone is a hands on executive.
Unless you are a lawyer or Fortune 500 CEO, carrying a briefcase is, well, nerdy.
As mayor in an executive position, I have to dress more like an executive, which has been delightful.
I spend more time in suits than anyone in the corporate world.
I spend much of my time in a suit and tie with my top button done up and my sensible shoes neatly polished. When it comes to work, my appearance is about communicating professionalism and confidence.
President Mandela was not a hands-on president at any time.
I definitely wouldn't consider myself a professional, but I like to dress up like one.
I don't look presidential. I don't wear, you know, three-piece suits and have my hair perfectly coiffed.
I no longer need my power tie, because I always have, my power finger.
I've never been big on sports coats and pants. I'm a suit guy. It makes it clear who's in charge.
But the suit I wear is my work attire, and nothing else.
Yeah, you will hear from people that my passion will sometimes result in a very effervescent or sometimes excitable senior executive.
Briefcases, like CEOs, should never look new and unused.
