Despite being the butt of endless jokes, the best weather forecasters quietly demonstrate executive presence every day in how they:

1) are willing to make predictions—and be wrong

2) translate mountains of data into clear, actionable guidance

3) take the most default of all default conversation topics (“So… how ’bout the weather?”) and actually engage stakeholders

Because weather is constant—something we check, talk about, and experience every day—these leadership lessons are hard to ignore once you notice them.
