Figurehead-Figureheads represent their teams. To improve confidence in this area, start with your image, behavior, and reputation. Work on humility and empathy, learn how to set a good example at work, and think about being a good role model. Signing official documents, entertaining clients or customers, receiving/escorting official visitors, informally talking to people, attending outside meetings as an organizational representative, and presiding at meetings and ceremonial events are all examples of figurehead leadership.
