Charismatic leaders
Charismatic leaders bring out our best and make us excel. Research shows that those following charismatic leaders perform better, find their work more meaningful, and have more trust in their leaders that those who follow non-charismatic leaders.
Charismatic leaders cause followers to become highly committed to the leader's mission and make personal sacrifices by mastering the art and science of personal magnetism.
To master the art of personal magnetism
- Speak slowly. Visualize the slow, emphatic tone of a judge delivering a verdict.
- Pause. Those who show confidence often pause for a second or two between sentences.
- Drop intonation. Lowering the tone of your voice at the end of a sentence sounds confident. You can even lower your intonation midsentence.
- Check your breathing. Try not to breathe through your mouth as it can make you sound breathless and anxious. Instead, inhale and exhale through your nose.
- Smile. Smiling projects more warmth in your voice. It's even worth doing when on the phone.
The high imagery speech
The use of imagery increases charisma.
Research shows that a high imagery speech resulted in higher ratings of charisma that a low imagery speech.
Consistency in tone
Consistency in tone is very persuasive. People who don't get stirred up and maintain a narrow tonal range have a natural advantage.
The more consistent they are in emphasis and rhythm, the more convincing they are to others. They are also perceived as having better ideas and a better presentation style.
Technology can interfere with communication
It can do this by stripping away the emotional information in faces and intonation.
Virtual communication may dampen laughter that would otherwise happen face-to-face.
Techniques for charisma
To become a charismatic manager, focus on these techniques:
- Framing through metaphor-stories and anecdotes
- Demonstrating moral conviction
- Sharing the sentiments of the group
- Setting high expectations
- Communicating confidence
- Using rhetorical devices such as contrasts, lists, and rhetorical questions together with non-verbal tactics such as body gesture, facial expression, and animated voice tone.

Maintain a High Energy Level
Charisma only comes into play when you’re interacting with others, so you just need high energy during specific interactions.
It’s pretty easy to adopt an exercise that pumps you up before interactions, whether that’s a few jumping jacks before a speech or something more lasting such as a morning routine that includes affirmations and exercise.

Active listening
Active listening has three components:
Paraphrase: Repeat what they have said in your own words. "If I understand correctly... "
Inquire: "You mentioned you found our proposed price unacceptable. Help me understand how you came to this conclusion?"
Acknowledge: "It sounds as if you're quite disappointed with..."
Active listening should be maintained throughout the conversation.
Communication is more than just words
It also includes body language:
- 55 percent of what you convey comes from your body language.
- 38 percent comes from your tone of voice.
- Only 7 percent is from the words you choose.
You don't want to argue over the phone or email as they are stripped of facial expressions and gestures and unwittingly simulating a blank emotional radar.

Creativity
Charismatic leaders think outside the box and aren’t afraid to push the limits.
While others may see this kind of push as risky, these leaders are the ones leading the way and driving innovation. When a problem arises, leaders don’t see only the difficulties. Instead, they rise to the challenge and see it as an opportunity. In business, this creativity can lead to powerful change and transformation, which can inspire and motivate others.
Vision
"Leadership requires two things: a vision of the world that does not yet exist and the ability to communicate it.” - Simon Sinek
Because leaders value innovation, they are focused on the future and how they can improve it. They have a dream and direction that motivates and inspires others.
