There is something about power dressing. It is said that it brings confidence and allows you to express the position you have/ occupy through the clothes that you wear.
If you are successful, you should dress the part, look the part. It adds to the aura and flair about the job you have. Think about it, in a world where clothing is the very primary instrument in creating a positive first impression, there is certainly no better way to command respect and power than by looking the part.
In his memoir, “Power Forward: My Presidential Education,” Reggie Love, special assistant and one of the longest serving personal aides, commonly referred to as body man, to former U.S President Barack Obama, notes that Obama’s attire made “a vital and intractable impression.” “We both had to learn how to dress the part. Because the impression we made could mean the difference between a yes or a no vote,” Love wrote.
Power and sense of style, a pair that’s made in heaven, that of physical command and taut assurance is a win for any leader.
Kenya officially, has a new President elect- H.E. William Samoei Arap Ruto and we are eager to see what style he brings to the Job.
