I won’t discuss in detail.Four main qualities a leader should possess are;
# He should be able to identify with the common man,should work for their betterment.
# Should be able to show sincerety of purpose and create trust amongst fellow men.
# Should practise the Economics of Abundance.
# Should develop Quality people.
Thanks for inviting my views.Best wishes.

No problem Surjit. I find your writing very insightful. So when you say practice the Economics of Abundance do you mean giving? I have never heard that phrase before.

1.Walk the talk
2.Walk the talk
3.Walk the talk
…I could go on for this forever! Don´t ask for anything if you are not ready to do it yourself. Attitude & Congruency is King!

Bradley,
Interesting article. I’m not sure if I agree with the authors standpoint that charisma can’t be developed though. Not having those four traits has less to do with a lack of some inborn ability but more to do with improper phrasing. Check out How to be Charismatic: Lessons from the Dog Whisperer for an example of what phrasing is and how it can be applied to the four traits spoken of in this article.
