The Qualities of a Charismatic Leader

Charisma is defined as:

"The ability to inspire enthusiasm, interest, or affection in others, by means of personal charm or influence."

Leaders who have this special ability share four (4) things in common:
  1. They Love Life
    *Smile
  2. They value the potential in people
    *Leaders see people, not as they are, but as they could be
    "The greatest good you can do for another is not to share your riches but to reveal to him his own."
  3. They give hope
    Napoleon Bonaparte once said: "Leaders are dealers in hope."
    *Paint tomorrow brighter than today.
  4. They share themselves
    *Wisdom *Resources *Special occasions
Summary:

Charisma is an attractive blend of learnable qualities.

"Leaders draw out the best in their people, give the best of themselves, and find the greatest fulfillment." - John C Maxwell
