"A picture worth a thousand words "
So true because your image say a lot about you and people judge you in the 1st minute they meet you according to your image
Factors affecting personal image :
by a simple look at the graph below
Did you ask your self if you projecting the right image that send the proper message to people about you .
Are middle eastern people aware of the importance of the look as an important element of communication specially the non-verbal one as well as trust
If people at different levels wants to be well perceived and understood they should take care of their image and work on their look as well as their performance ,specially politicians since we are at an era where media have a great impact on public opinion.
As an example of how the look can work positively to send the proper image
I took Al Gore as an example
when he was a candidate in presidential election he adopt the look of young updated man
after he lost the race his image in all news was so pathetic and stayed for 2-3 years out of the media and it was mentioned that he runs a restaurant at his native place
Then it was the comeback with different image to send alarm about the global warming
he gains weight to give the look of a more mature man caring and worried about the global environment ,talking to people all over the world as the expert and wiser leader who work to save the globe from the increasing danger of the Global warming
and he become a symbol of success world wide and received many awards beside the books he wrote and the fortune he made.
This is a one example of how your look should match with the message you want to send the question that we should ask our selves is our politicians have the proper image that conform with the message they want to give and the role they want to play ?
Are they aware of their look as an important element of communication ?
I'll leave the answer to you ..and till another thought and new subject take care of your image
