  • Profiling your Gravitas

  • You’re now going to assess your Gravitas. This will determine your overall score and how you rate yourself against the six qualities encapsulated in the Gravitas Wheel©.

    The Gravitas Wheel was developed by Antoinette Dale Henderson following global research into the six qualities all leaders with gravitas possess.

    The right-hand side represents the inner qualities of gravitas and the left-hand side represents the outer qualities.

    The most successful people are able to draw on each component of the Wheel to build stronger working relationships, raise their profile and maximise their personal impact at work.

    The six qualities are Self-awareness, Expertise, Authenticity, Presence, Connection and Projection.
