The Lifelong Learner         by Stanley Kubasek | About Me |

A good leader needs to have at least some charisma. What is charisma? I found a great definition of it while reading Win The Crowd.

Charismatic people are:

• enthusiastic
• confident
• comfortable in their own skin
• unconcerned about what others think of them
• masters of their subject matter
• symbols of something others desire

Be Unconcerned About What Others Think of You
The key to charisma may lie in this advice. Do what seems right to you, and don't waver when people present differing points of view. Stay true to who you are and what you believe in. People will often test you to see how far you can be pushed. Don't budge. The firmer you stand, the clearer it is what you stand for.

You can't please everybody. Not everybody will like you and that's perfectly okay. There is no need to be liked by every person you meet.

Stop trying to impress everyone. Your presentations will improve, and people will be more attracted to you when you decide to impress no one but yourself.
