- Be real gem at what you do… as a leader, a manager, a doer… or all three.
- First, clearly communicate your expectations then inspect what you expect.
- Know exactly what you are doing. Articulate reasons behind it every now and then.
- Explain the course of actions you’re taking whenever necessary.
- Lead from the front.
- Digest that your dominance is not absolute – its existence depends on other’s recognition.
- Be proactively decisive.
- Get your people to accept that in select situations, your words are final decisions.
- Exhibit your self-confidence in your every actions.
- When you think you have communicated enough; communicate once more! – Let people exactly know what is expected from them.

Good simple steps to develop and practice the skills of dominance. Adding to that list some more thoughts:
1) Make choices for success by overcoming past conditioning
2) Deal with interruptions
I hope this adds some value to your post.

Suparna,
Overcoming past conditioning is a good addition.
“Dealing with interruptions” is more of a (time) management skill rather than a leadership skill – and dominance is more about leadership
Cheers!
