There are three personality powers that top leaders use to increase their personal power and influence.

Your Emotions Are Contagious

The first power you can develop is enthusiasm. The more excited you are about accomplishing something that is important to you the more excited others will be about helping you to do it. The facts is that emotions are contagious.

The more passion you have for your life and your activities, the more charisma you will possess, and the more cooperation you will gain from others. Every great man or women has been totally committed to a noble cause and, as a result, has attracted that support and encouragement of others—in many cases, thousands or millions of others.

The Key To Charisma

The second personality power that you can develop is expertise, or competence. The more knowledgeable you are perceived to be in your field, the more charisma you will have among those who respect and admire that knowledge because of the impact it can have on their lives.

This is also that power of excellence, of being recognized by others as an outstanding performer in your field. Men and women who do their jobs extremely well and who are recognized for the quality of their work are those who naturally attract the help and support of others. They have charisma.

Prepare Thoroughly For Every Event

The third power of personality that gives you charisma in the eyes of others is thorough preparation, detailed preparation prior to undertaking any significant task.

Whether you are facing an Interview, meeting with you boss, giving a public talk or making any other kind of presentation, when you are well prepared. It becomes clear to everyone.
