Charismatic Leadership
1. Ice breaking questions.
What is a leader? What is a charismatic leader?
Can you name a few charismatic leaders in Ukraine, in the world? What makes them charismatic?
Do you personally have a charisma? Do you know any one among your friends who has charisma?
2. Read and discuss the following text.
The greatest leaders have it – that special quality which attracts people to these magnetic personalities. If your desire is to become an effective leader, then you need to develop an appealing personality that causes others to respond to you. This magnetism or appeal that attracts us to people is called charisma.
Charisma can be a difficult subject to grasp: people think it is a mystical and elusive. However, Webster’s Dictionary defines it as “a personal magic of leadership stimulating special loyalty or enthusiasm.” Some American Presidents stand out because of a charisma factor. Ronald Reagan possessed the ability to convey humor, personal warmth, and relaxedness. John F. Kennedy knew how to give others a feeling of hope. He radiated boundless energy and made many Americans feel important and needed.
The charismatic person may be controversial, unusual, or entertaining, but never boring. Do you want to increase your level of charisma? Develop your creativity and your confidence. Creativity is the ability to say things in an unusual way. Confidence is the ability to do things in an unusual way. Charismatic people can do both. Develop these two traits and people will stand up and take notice. Charismatic people not only want to win, they want others to win too. That creates productivity. How does a person become productive? Find your strength and then find someone who needs your strength. Charismatic people use their strengths to help other people feel good about themselves; they are people-centered.
According to Webster one definition of charisma is "great personal magnetism: CHARM," but character is "moral or ethical strength: INTEGRITY." There are a lot of people who have charisma, but no character, or integrity. Many people have a charming gift that can take them places where their character cannot keep them. Our character is revealed by what we do when nobody is watching. Many people will do the right thing when somebody is watching them, but they won't do the right thing when nobody sees them.
