This evidence-based assessment is the first and only scientifically validated model to define executive presence as a dynamic interplay of three dimensions:
Character, Substance, and Style.
The Bates Model is the foundation of our multi-rater feedback survey and coaching methodology used to support leaders to demonstrate positive impact and accelerate team and organizational performance.
