What makes a leader
motivating others? The most common answer I have come across is "charisma."
People want to hear what charismatic leaders have to say and do, what they advise.
“Charismatic people always combine two messages,” says Fox Cabane. “They give
the impression that they have a lot of power and also that they like you, or
could like you, a lot. Humans are hard-wired to dislike uncertainty, so when
they come across someone who shows none they tend very hard to resist.”
Therefore, it is not surprising that in nowadays of crisis many
organizations seek to hire those who exhibit charisma.
Today more than ever we are in need of inspiring employees to confront problems, the need of workers that focus on tasks, and voice their opinions. Here leaders and not managers are setting their organizations up for needed transformation. Leaders, which have virtue, vision and “internal” power to do it.
It is not about the definition of a bad or good leader, it is about how he or she should behave and what she or he should aim for to be a successful one.
