Can you add to the list of a Leader’s A-Z of Body Language?
Great article and great list on non-verbal body language. The best leaders are avid readers, and I am not only talking about books. They are masters at reading the non-verbal clues that we share.
RP members can you add more to the list and how important is it for you as leader to understand what message your body language is sending?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs this is a great list. I think I could make two or three more using the same format and never use the same word twice. I was hoping the punctuation marks were going to have qualities attached as well but unfortunately not this time around.
I think the values of nonverbal communication are often over looked, and this can make or break you as a leader, mentor, or friend. For example, something as simple as being a good listener is often times messed up. You can be hanging on every word, but if you present a defensive posture, ridged, arms crossed, or continuously fidgeting do you think anyone will perceive you as actually listening? The answer is no, being mindful of our posture, motions, and appearance is vital to properly communicate a convey non-verbal messages.

No I can't list the A-Z of Body Language in this nation. I do know that body language varies around the world but looks of horror and love are pretty consistent. Various cultures consider distance between people very differently. In our own culture, personal space is important while in some cultures closeness even between strangers is appropriate.

LTC Stephen F. Very nice - well put. It would be nice to have a world guide on body language because you are absolutely correct!

Politicians have a bunch of PhD types whose primary job is to tell them how to act/ move. Just Google politicians frowny faces
