📖Current read: The Charisma Myth (by Olivia Fox Cabane) 📌#1 Quite interesting insights. The way it explained how despite the popular charisma myth, people aren't born with charisma – no matter how naturally magnetic some people appear. . It is, after all, is not some kind of magical aura as we think it to be, but the result of a person displaying certain behaviors. 📌#2 The power-warmth combination is a necessary condition of charisma. 👉🏻Someone powerful but not warm might be impressive but not necessarily charismatic . 👉🏻Compare, for example, the two candidates in Great Britain's 1868 elections, William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli, both of whom projected power, intelligence and knowledge. One woman who dined with each of them, separately, later said, “After dining with Mr. Gladstone, I thought he was the cleverest person in England. But after dining with Mr. Disraeli, I thought I was the cleverest person in England.” No surprise, then, that Disraeli won the election. . Charisma means being powerful and warm – being willing to use your power for others. . Quite a read so far.
