Does having a "brand" help you lead others?

Managing expertly requires many qualities one of which is managing a personal brand. The manager must manage the brand with clarity, consistency, the right technologies, skillful human resources, and clear vision in order for the message to be heard and for effectiveness to soar. Where as technology is valuable it is just as important to talk to people face to face to clearly as effectively sell a personal brand and a personal vision (Noonan, 1991).
