In her commentary on Prime Suspect 1, Helen Mirren relates how she visited Scotland Yard and interviewed female Detective Inspectors before filming began. One of the surprising things they told her: "Don't fold your arms!" It looks commanding--it even feels that way--but it actually sends a defensive message"Keep your arms by your side," they told her instead.
The most authoritative look is for the arms to hang loose from straight shoulders.Which led me to wonder: Is Star Trek and those leotard type costumes which wrinkle if a person moves wrong in fact good leadership practice?
