Blunderlov: There was a series on British TV recently called "Leaders". It
explored exactly the topic you are interested in namely the attitudes, body
language and other props of leadership. It was an superb series and I will
try and look it up for you.
You might also want to see this book: "Speak Like Churchill, Stand Like
Lincoln"

hear it is excellent.

Jonathan

kirk steele's search result is:

it is interesting reading. in fact, it was one of my first subjects of
discussion in the neighbouring irc room, #sl4.
to blunderov: i too am fascinated by politicians' body language. de gaulle,
hitler, david llyod george, churchill, stalin, castro....thatcher...i cant
think of any other women...there should be an illustrated book on
politicians and body language. great politicians have mastered the art of
public speaking as well as nonverbal communication. arrrrggggghhhhh..and
then there is dubya. what do you think *he* is communicating to us non
verbally?
to michelle: i agree that some subjects are better learned through
observation. book knowledge just wont cut it. actors and performance
artistes do use a lot of body language. esp for actors...there is no other
way to communicate to the audience other than body language..because the
audience are the voyeurs and the principal communication is on the
stage/screen between the actors. i remember watching this woman, a dance
teacher, instructing her students on the different emotions..in nine main
categories...love and laughter, digust and wonder...anger and
fear....compassion and peacefulness..i forget the last one...it was
fascinating because all the above emotions can be communciated through our
eyes alone. of course, that is dramatic and things are a tad muted in real
life.
and..yes, i like to watch too...:)
