Charisma • What is it? • How would you describe a charismatic person?
Charisma • The ability to communicate a CLEAR, VISIONARY, and INSPIRATIONAL message that captivates and movesan audience.
What does the research show? • 75% of employees are not engaged or giving their best work • This directly relates to whether leaders reach out and connect with employees • The chance that a manager who is strongly disliked will be considered a good leader is about 1 in 2000
Charismatic Leaders • Share vision • Increase value • Allow employees to have a voice
Minute drama • Watch to see if the leader portrays the traits of a charismatic leader
Happy Warriors • Reassure us that whatever the situation or challenge, it will work out in the end.
Non-verbal Charisma “Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances.” -Maya Angelou
Posture • Inner strength • Confidence • Calmness • Openness • Less threatening • Feel less threatened • Affects perception
Good Posture • Stand up • Reach full height • Straighten s-curve in your spine • Avoid exaggerated chest-out pose or raising chin high
Strength Poses • Increase testosterone • Decrease cortisol • Open, expansive, space occupying
Cold vs Warmth • The way to influence and lead is to begin with warmth • Warmth • Nod • Smile • Open gesture
Cold vs Warmth • Balance weight on one hip to avoid tenseness or rigidity • Tilt head slightly • Keep hands open and welcoming • Chin pointed down • Pivot body away from the person you are engaged with • Closed hand positions • Cutting motions
Sitting Cold Warm Lean inward in a nonaggressive manner to signal interest and engagement. Place your hands comfortably on your knees or rest them on the table. Aim for body language that feels professional but relaxed. • Try not to angle your body away from the person you’re engaging. • Crossing your arms indicates coldness and a lack of receptivity. • Avoid sitting “at attention” or in an aggressive posture.
Observations • How difficult was it for you to express warmth? • Can you think of leaders who begin with warmth? • What difference does it make?
