This is one of the hardest things to do: how do you convey experience if you do not have the ability to convey that experience?

If you feel you already have this, then you can stop reading right now. 

There are people that seem to naturally fill the role of leader, whether its in politics or businesses. They display the aura of direction, knowledge, and authority.

I do not believe they were born with it; rather, they learned it over time.  If you do not have this yet, then you can get it.

There are two ways to do this. First, pick one or two mentors that you feel display their experience.  Determine the attributes they have and emulate them.

Second, learn about those attributes and how you can get them. Read self-help books, take classes, discuss with associates…continuously strive to learn to be an effective experienced person (not necessarily a leader).

When you get these attributes, one thing you will learn is that leaders continue to learn. They have to continue to hone their skills—consciously think about them and work on them.
