Perhaps it is only human nature to dream of helpful superheroes, robots and magical shortcuts. There are countless stories of fraud victims who believed tales of conmen who promised easy riches for a minimal ‘investment’. If we expect someone else to make our life or work easy we very likely will be disappointed if not resentful. On the other hand if we mistrust everyone and everything to the extent we rely only on ourselves we may avoid being disappointed but we will also miss the opportunities to learn from others and enjoy the improved results of collaboration and teamwork. Success in work and life is largely influenced by how effectively we interact with other people.
This month Peak Pathways LLC is introducing a new and exciting concept of measuring and developing Leadership Charisma. As you will find in future blogs charisma is not reserved for celebrities and superheroes. It is simply the effectiveness of our interactions with others that help them to feel or fare better as a result of interacting with us. While that characteristic is critical for any leader it is also fundamental to success in sales or work and life in general. Developing the behaviors associated with charisma will not make you a superhero but it will most certainly make you more successful.
We look forward to exploring this topic with you in more detail in the months ahead and always welcome your comments and questions.
