英文原文在此。如果你不懂英文，我们就不谈了，你如果懂英文，我们就更不用谈了

He is the first leader to employ a big team to build his public profile. But he also has a flair for it—thanks to his stature (in a height-obsessed country he would tower over all his predecessors except Mao), his toughness and his common touch.


他是首个配备一个大的团队来为其树立公共形象的领导人。不过，他本人也有这方面的天生条件，这得感谢他的身高（在一个崇尚高度的国度，他是除了毛之外身高最高的国家领导人），以及他的强健和平易近人。


stature: Webster 词典第一定义： natural height of( a person )in a standing position. 一个人直立的自然高度。
另外，下文，用了height, tower, 根据上下文，stature 这里指身高是无疑的。
