If Only They Used Their Powers for Good Sadly some individuals who have the gift of charisma have misused this tool to manipulate and deceive followers to achieve personal gain or power. This has been a common problem throughout human history: Adolph Hitler…Jim Jones…David Koresh.

For decades it was incorrectly believed by many people that all great political and religious leaders possessed a trait called charisma. This influential trait was defined as “those who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm." It typically included a strong personal magnetism or charm. Unfortunately, Far too many people have actually defined leadership as if it was synonymous with charisma! (It's not)

Many military generals, business mavericks and athletic coaches have been quoted extensively to promote a “winning is everything” or the “only thing” approach to achievement or problem solving.

Recent news reports about political and business corruption highlights how certain individuals have misused charisma and their power of persuasion to abuse others for selfish personal gain. It is true that when used effectively charisma can be a powerful motivating tool by those leaders who possess it. But this does not prove an exclusive link between leadership and charisma.

As a society, our focus should not be on those who have charisma but rather on those who live and lead with integrity. Author Jim Collins comments in his book “Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don’t” (HarperCollins) that the difference between a good leader and a bad one is “the inner landscape of the leader”.

Study (and Follow) the Leaders Collins spent five years studying business leaders who took their companies from good to great by maintaining outstanding performance for at least 15 years. His conclusion is that the good leaders were “ambitious first and foremost for their cause, for the company, for the work. Not for themselves. They are self-confident, not self-centered”.

He found that these leaders were “self-effacing, quiet, reserved, even shy – a paradoxical blend of personality, humility and professional will. They are more like Lincoln and Socrates than Patton or Caesar.

It is a common cultural flaw to expect leaders to exhibit charisma or to closely link leadership with charisma. This flaw has led many down a path of frustration and disillusionment when the personal charisma of a leader proved to be self-absorbed and shallow.

Instead of charisma, our culture should focus on possessing leadership qualities like being trustworthy, genuine, honest and service-minded. These are the traits that reveal the “inner landscape of the leader” and provide a long-term motivation for others to follow.
