We are inspired by the titles scene from all famous Reservoir Dogs. Each person has his own walking style, which holds for the first impression he creates. As far as a leader go, this first impression can itself influence their juniors. So which leader are you, from the below? Don’t forget to mention your answer in the comments section below!
Iron Man
Stylish yet casually dressed. Walks generally with a regal stance – which is hands at the back, signalling that even though he has an implanted heart, he is not afraid of his adversary when there is no “attack”. Hardly noticed to be frizzled during danger.
Harvey Spectre
His walking is supposed to be as perfect as his suits are, in establishing his professionalism. He wants to believe he is in control of the situation, but so often his walking gait is influenced by what he is thinking. Always ready to move one level upwards.
One would want to believe that woman from the “fashion world” would hardly fit in the list of “alpha males” but the Devil takes the cake. She steps one shoe out of her car, and the scene in the office starts changing. It’s like she has everyone on her leash – literally!
Sherlock Holmes
He is never really plain walking, is he? A person who just won’t accept a mind without thought, pre occupied with puzzles, in fact solving them as he walks across the street! You won’t really be paying attention to his walk when you watch Sherlock.
Beatrix Kiddo
Remember the all famous scene of 88? The “Widow” nimble footedly walks on the narrow barrister of the stairs and the scene ends in her triumph. So for you to be like her, you would be unshaken under any troubles, or better still, embrace trouble like a dish served cold. My favourite movie!
Or it is Batman? Different time of the day, different persona, different body language and a different gait. Someone whose work persona is just a mask, not who he really is! (It’s not on my list without a reason. So many clients claim to be this..)
