How can you have charisma? Be more concerned
about making others
feel good about themselves than you are
making them feel good about you.
Dan Reiland, VP @ INJOY
Charisma is defined as a magnetic personal attraction that draws others to the leader, making them feel better about themselves.
o Effective
leaders do well to develop some level of charisma.
o True
leaders give charisma away to others.
Having "charisma" is different that being "charismatic." Similar, but much different. Charismatic leaders, argues Jim Collins, will not rise to be a Level 5 (highest) Leader.
Some Charisma roadblocks displayed by Ahab and Jezebel are pointed out by Maxwell from 1 Kings 19: 1 - 22:40. I'd imagine they were very charismatic though!
- Pride
- Insecure
- Moody
- Selfish
- Perfectionist
- Cynical
- Love life
- Put a "10" on everyone's forehead
- Give people hope
- Share yourself
To that end...........
