What is charisma, and what does it mean to be “charismatic?”
People like Will Smith, Chow Yun Fatt and Oprah Winfrey are known for their charisma. Are they born with charisma or did they learn it along the way?
Charisma is an innate quality and some people are certainly born with separate x-factors that together are expressed as charisma, and others learn these elements as they grow and develop. Charisma is one of the building blocks of the first impression we create. In business, charisma is an indicator of executive presence.
