meaning of the word “dressing” in this paragraph?
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" ?
