What makes someone an authority in your eyes? Not a title.Not a position.Not volume. Think of a person you genuinely experience as authoritative.What qualities do they embody? Name the traits — presence, clarity, restraint, consistency, integrity, something else? No explanations needed.Just what you recognize as authority.

You don’t hear real power. You simply feel it. Some movie characters enter a scene and the room shifts. That’s calm power. Name one.
