Charisma- A Beneficial Leadership Trait.

One of my New Year's Goals is to keep this blog updated with motivation, insight and encouragement as we move forward to embrace all that 2010 has for us.
We will continue to examine all the traits that make us better leaders in our lives. In the last blog that was posted here we mentioned the number one trait which was Character. Today and the next 7 days we will reflect on this aspect of Charisma.
Some people think that charisma is something that is hard to define or vague. Some think that it is something that you are born with, but I disagree. Charisma is something that can be developed in any one's life. What is Charisma? In a simple definition, Charisma is the ability to draw people to you. To develop into someone who draws others to you incorporate the following into your life.

1. Love Life!
People enjoy leaders who enjoy life. Are you a celebrator or a complainer? People who have charisma are passionate about life.
2. Put A "10" on Every Person's Head!
People/Leaders who have charisma see the best in people. Believe in people it cause the best to come out in them. Appreciate others, encourage others and give them the room to make mistakes because we all do. When you believe in them, they believe in themselves. 1st Corin. 13:7- ...is ever ready to believe the best of every perons..." (Amplied version).
3. Give People HOPE!
Help people believe in their tomorrow. Hope is the ability of seeing a prosperous tomorrow today. Give others Hope and they will be attracted to you. Romans 8:24-"who hopes for what he already has?"
4. Share of Yourself
As you lead others, give of yourself. Share experiences, share wisdom, and share resources. When you think of Charisma simply think what Paul said in Philippians chapter 2:4-" Each of you should look not only to your own interest but also to the interest of others."

Until we meet next week, stay motivated! Stay encouraged! Believe in tomorrow and see it being better than today! Become the Leader that you want to become and start now.
