Can you please tell me what exactly does "dressing" mean in this paragraph?

(it's from a book about management and leadership):

"the second way to see yourself as a leader is to stake indirectly claims of leadership, such as sitting at the head of the table for a meeting, mentioning your relationship with recognized leaders, or dressing the part."

is it something like acting out the part or am I mistaken?

  • so you're saying that it's actually talking about having an appearance that makes you look like a leader? would it be appropriate to translate it as "dashtane zaher ya raftare motanaseb ba rahbari" ?

  • @navid, yes. Here, you can say ‘مثل رهبرها لباس پوشیدن یا رفتار کردن’.
