Just wondering what you all thought of her personal leadership philosophy.
I found it interesting, considering that we are currently learning about emotional intelligence, that her first point was charisma. Her definition of charisma includes the ability to excite, encourage, and inspire as well as recognizing the importance of interpersonal skills.
That is interesting. I also remember the Maxwell book talking about charisma as the ability to make others feel how you feel--something to that effect. It's not a top leadership quality on my list, but that's probably because I don't think I have this ability. When I think back to teachers I've had that made an impact, they all had charisma.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if charisma is a necessary, but not sufficient characteristic of "official" leaders (Presidents, Chairpersons...); and a "nice to have" but not even necessary characteristics of individual contributors. I am going to take some time over the next few weeks to observe and reflect on the role of charisma. Thanks Sarah and Vanessa for introducing this line of thought.
