I have come to learn that to build charisma, we need to be others-minded. John Maxwell, a Leadership guru mentions that Leaders who think about others (customers) and their concerns before thinking of themselves quickly develop charisma.
So I started wondering how can we rate our own charisma? Are other people naturally attracted to you? Are you well liked?
John Maxwell breaks it down on things we need to consider that can become roadblocks to charisma in our leadership.
- Pride – Nobody wants to follow a leader who thinks he is better than everyone else. Arrogant leaders lose the respect of others.
- Insecurity – If you are uncomfortable with yourself, others will be, too. Only secure leaders can provide a secure atmosphere.
- Moodiness – If people never know what to expect from you, they stop expecting anything. Eventually, they won’t even approach you.
- Selfishness – People can tell if you are using them merely to reach your own goal. No healthy person stays for long in such an unhealthy environment.
- Perfectionism – People respect the desire for excellence, but loathe unrealistic expectations. No one wants to feel the program is more important than they are.
- Cynicism – People don’t want to be rained on by someone who sees a cloud around every silver lining. Negative leaders repulse healthy followers.
Do you posses any of these? If so, you need to get rid of them in order to quickly develop your charisma.
